Provide the Deployment Management Certificate to a Primer Installation

The deployment manager generates a certificate that needs to be transferred to the target computer before the primer on the target computer will accept deployment packages. The deployment certificate file is called dmkeydat.cer.

The location of the certificate is configurable at installation time. You may configure a different file location if you want to store the certificate in a more secure area or in a location shared between two managers providing a failover solution. In the latter case, sharing the certificate enables deployment managers to communicate with DMPrimer components delivered from either manager without the need to resupply authentication credentials.

On Windows, the deployment certificate is stored in the following directory:

\Program Files\CA\DSM\DMDeploy

The certificate must be copied to the primer installation folder on the target computer, which by default is as follows:

\Program Files\CA\DSM\DMPrimer

On Linux and UNIX, the deployment certificate is stored in the following directory:

/opt/CA/DSM/DMDeploy

The certificate must be copied to the primer installation folder on the target computer, which by default is as follows:

/opt/CA/DSM/dmprimer/bin
