Creating and Installing the Certificate

The system administrator creates an X.509 certificate. This certificate should be registered with the CA Business Service Insight server, preferably in the LocalMachine/TrustedPeople store.

Afterward, CA Business Service Insight needs to know where this certificate resides. Pointing Cloud Insight to the registered certificate is done from the webroot/API/Web.config XML file. In this file, in the configuration/system.serviceModel/behaviors/serviceBehaviors/behavior/serviceCredentials/serviceCertificate node, change the values in the following four fields to point to the registered certificate:

• findValue
• storeLocation
• storeName
• x509FindType

CA Business Service Insight can then publish the public portion of the certificate in the WSDL (Web Server Definition Language) data, to enable encryption of data transmission.
