CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing AuthMinder Server Instances › Creating Trust Stores

Creating Trust Stores

You can create a trust store to authenticate AuthMinder components (that includes Administration Console, Java SDKs, and Web Services) or other clients to an AuthMinder Server instance during SSL-based communications. A trust store contains the CA root certificates that are trusted by AuthMinder Server.

Each of your AuthMinder Server instances can be configured for different certificates by using different trust stores. You can use the Trusted Certificate Authorities page to create trust stores and to add new root certificates to your trust stores.

To create a trust store for the current server instance:

1. Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab in the main menu.
3. Ensure that the WebFort tab in the submenu is active.
4. Under the Instance Configurations section, click the Trusted Certificate Authorities link to display the Trusted Certificate Authorities page.
5. Enter the name for the trust store that you want to create in the Name field.
6. Click the corresponding Browse buttons to upload the root certificate of the trusted CAs in PEM format. You can click Add More to display additional fields for uploading certificates.
7. Click Save when you finish uploading all required certificates.
