Viewing Certificates

To ensure the certificate was created correctly, run the viewcert utility.

1. At a command prompt, change to <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\SQLAnywhere11\BIN32.
2. Run:

   viewcert <myCertFile>.crt

   In this example, viewcert indicates that rsa_root.crt is a certificate authority (CA) certificate:

   <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\SQLAnywhere11\BIN32>viewcert rsa_root.crt
