About the CA Process Automation Certificate

Research the differences between using a self-signed certificate and a Trusted SSL certificate in light of your security needs for CA Process Automation.

CA Process Automation provides a self-signed certificate that is preconfigured for use. You can manage the CA Process Automation certificate in any of the following ways:

• Use the certificate provided with CA Process Automation. Install this certificate from each browser from which you access the URL to the CA Process Automation Domain Orchestrator.
• Create your own self-signed certificate with a provided utility, encrypt the password with a provided utility, update the properties file with the keystore location, encrypted password, and keystore alias.
• Obtain a certificate from a recognized Certificate Authority. Update the properties file with the keystore location, encrypted password, and keystore alias.

Important! Do not remove the default keystore or the self-signed certificate provided with CA Process Automation. This certificate is required even when you configure CA Process Automation to use your own self-signed certificate or one you obtain from a CA.
