Export the security certificate

Before you can start the web client on any remote device, you must install a security certificate. The most reliable way to do this is to export the security certificate from the SMS and copy the exported certificate file to the remote device.

To export the security certificate from the System Management Server

1. On the System Management Server (SMS), start the Configurator.

2. Under Common Platform, select System Management Server.

3. Select the Advanced button to open the Advanced Configuration dialog.

4. On the Certificates tab, select Details. The Certificate dialog box opens.

5. Select the Certification Path tab and select the top-level certificate in the certification path.

   

6. Select the View Certificate button.

7. Select the Details tab, then select Copy to File...

   This opens the Certificate Export Wizard.

8. Select Next and keep the default export format (DER encoded binary X.509).

9. Select Next again. You are asked to enter a name for the certificate file to be exported. You can use the Browse... button to select the location for saving the file.

   Note: Do not change the .CER extension.

10. Select Next., then select Finish to save the file. You can now close the Configurator and Certificate dialogs.

Once you have exported the certificate file, you can use it for all devices which need to connect to this SMS. Just copy the file to each remote device, then import the certificate there.
