• For the mobile application user interface component (for an internet accessible deployment)

This procedure describes how to configure SSL on CA Executive Insight with a self-signed Certificate and a certificate from a trusted SSL certificate provider.

The first step(s) should be to setup and verify that the Self Signed certificate functions. Once the self-signed certificate is configured and Tomcat is running on the SSL ports specified, you can follow the instructions provided by the Certificate Authority to put the official Certificate in place.
