To connect to the IXIA TEXTML Server, you must provide the clients, such
asIXIA CCMS Desktop, IXIA CCMS Output Generator, IXIA CCMS Scheduler, and IXIA CCMS Web, with the IXIA TEXTML Server signed certificate in the list of trusted certificates.
To add the signed certificate to the list of trusted certificates, you must run the
keytool
command in the JRE/JDK for each client.
Note: If you get an error message, make the pertinent changes and try again.
-
If you get an error message indicating that the certificate cannot be trusted, you need to
add the root certificate for the trusted authority, since the default certificate store rarely contains the root
certificates for your installation. Contact your commercial root
certificate authority (CA) for more information.
-
If you receive an error message that indicates the user or password doesn't exist, it's
likely your root certificate is not installed in the certificate
store. Install and also make sure all intermediate certificates are
installed.
-
On the machine where the CCMS component is installed, copy the
root CA and the Intermediate Certificate (if present) to a temp folder c:\temp or /tmp.
To execute the next step you need to be in the JRE/bin or
JDK/bin folder used by each CCMS component. Each
CCMS components has a configuration entry that is specific to the JRE/JDK
location for that component.

Information about the certificate results, along with the following
prompt:
Trust this certificate? [no]:
-
Enter
yes
.
The certificate is added to the keystore.
-
Repeat this procedure for every client that connects to the
IXIA TEXTML Server.
