How to Set Up SSL Communications with CA Process Automation

For security reasons, CA Process Automation implementers may have chosen to install or reconfigure CA Process Automation to require SSL communications. If CA Process Automation is configured to require SSL communications, integrated applications such as CA SDM require a certificate from the CA Process Automation keystore for communication.

To set up SSL communications with CA Process Automation, do the following:

  1. Configure CA SDM options to use the CA Process Automation HTTPS address.
  2. Export the CA Process Automation keystore certificate to a file and copy the file to CA SDM.
  3. Load the certificate file into CA SDM using the CA SDM pdm_keystore_mgr utility.
  4. If applicable to your CA SDM architecture, update the version control files to deliver the CA SDM keystore to all secondary servers.
  5. Restart CA SDM.
