Register the Certificate

After you download the certificate, you must merge the downloaded certificate with the private key that was used to create the certification request.

Note: The following instructions assume that the downloaded certificate is named <DSA Name>.cer.

To register the Certificate with the Classification Cache DSA

  1. Run the following command:
    dxcertgen -D <DSA name> -n <DSA name>.cer certmerge
    
    <DSA_Name>

    Is the name of the Classification Cache DSA. It defaults to ccscache.

    If this command is successful, it creates a personality for your DSA in:

    %DXHOME%\ssld\personalities\<DSA name>.pem.
    
    %DXHOME%

    Is a Windows environment variable that specifies the path to the CA Directory installation folder. In a typical installation, this variable is set to:

    C:\Program Files\CA\Directory\dxserver

  2. Run the following command to add the certificate authority to trusted.pem:
    dxcertgen -n <DSA Name>.cer importca
    

    CA Directory now trusts the certificate authority.
