Reactivate SSL

If you deactivate SSL for any reason, reactivate it. By enabling SSL, Federation Manager generates a FIPS-compatible private key for the server certificate.

Note: If the Status setting reads Server cert signed by CA, SSL ready, activate the SSL connection.

To activate SSL

1. Begin at the SSL Configuration dialog.
2. Click Activate in the Embedded web server SSL configuration group box.

   The SSL Configuration Status setting changes to SSL Active and a confirmation message is displayed in the dialog.

3. Restart the Federation Manager services, according to your operating environment.
   • Windows

     Use the Federation Manager stop and start shortcuts as follows:

     1. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Stop services
     2. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Start services
   • Solaris

     a. Open a command window.

     b. Run the following scripts:

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh stop

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh start

     When you run the fedmanager.sh script, it sources the Federation Manager environment script, ca_federation_env.ksh.

     Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user. You must be a non-root user.

SSL is now enabled. You do not have to modify the SSL configuration until the certificate expires.
