Reactivate SSL

If you deactivate SSL for any reason, reactivate it. By enabling SSL, CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone 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.

Follow these steps:

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 services according to your operating environment.

     2. Start, All Programs, CA, Federation Standalone, Start services
   • UNIX

     a. Open a command window.

     b. Run the following scripts:

     Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user.

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