Generate SSL Security Certificates

After you click the Finish button in the final Status Aggregator Setup Wizard dialog box, the installation program displays the Administrator's Tool for Generating SSL Certificates dialog box. For installation instructions, see Install Status Aggregator.

Note: For the steps to generate certificates manually by using the GenSSLCertsU command-line utility, see "Generating Certificates Manually with GenSSLCertsU" in the PureConnect Security Features Technical Reference at https://help.genesys.com/cic/mergedProjects/wh_tr/desktop/security_features.htm.

In this dialog box, you specify the folder where you want to store your SSL security certificates. You then create a list of servers for which the program will generate SSL certificates. Use these controls:

(a) Root Directory box

Here, you enter the path of the folder where the program should store your SSL certificates for all the servers. Under this folder, the program creates a separate subfolder for each server in your list (c).

(b) Servers To Generate Subsystems Certificate For box

Here, you type the name of a server for which you want to generate SSL certificates.

(c) Server list box

Lists all the servers for which it will generate certificates.

(d) Add button

Clicking this button adds the server name in (b) to the list in (c).

(e) Remove button

If you have clicked a server name in box (c) to select it, clicking this button removes that server name from the server list.

To generate SSL security certificates

1. Click the Browse button (a) and browse to the folder where you want to store certificates.

2. In the Servers box (b), type the name of a server for which to generate certificates.

3. Click the Add button (d).

   The program adds the server name in (b) to the server list in (c).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each server that requires SSL certificates.

5. Click the Accept button.

   The program opens a command window and shows its progress as it creates a subfolder for the first server in the server list and puts certificates in the subfolder. Then, it displays a message telling you to move the subfolder to that server.

6. Click OK in the message.

   The program displays a command window and message for each server in the list.

7. Copy all the subfolders under the SSL certificates folder, which you entered in the Root Directory box, onto a USB key drive.

Later, you will import the certificates onto the CIC server in 3: Import Certificates Into Each CIC Server.
