CA Strong Authentication Administration Guide › Managing CA Strong Authentication Server Instances › Create Trust Stores

Create Trust Stores

You create a trust store to authenticate CA AuthMinder components or other clients to an CA AuthMinder Server instance during SSL-based communications. A trust store contains the CA root certificates that are trusted by CA AuthMinder Server.

You can configure each of your CA AuthMinder Server instances to use different certificates by using different trust stores. You can use the Trusted Certificate Authorities page to create trust stores and to add new root certificates to your trust stores.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Services and Server Configurations tab in the main menu.
2. Verify that the CA Strong Authentication tab in the submenu is active.
3. Under the Instance Configurations section, click the Trusted Certificate Authorities link to display the Trusted Certificate Authorities page.
4. Enter the name for the trust store that you want to create in the Name field.
5. Click the corresponding Browse buttons to upload the root certificate of the trusted CAs in PEM format. You can click Add More to display additional fields for uploading certificates.
6. Click Save when you finish uploading all required certificates.
