Defining the Certificate File

To use SSL, the WebAccess Agent requires access to a server certificate file and key file. The WebAccess Agent can use any Base64/PEM or PFX formatted certificate file located on its server. If the WebAccess Agent's server does not have a server certificate file, you can use the GroupWise Generate CSR utility to help you obtain one. For information, see GroupWise Generate CSR Utility (GWCSRGEN).

To define the certificate file and key file that the WebAccess Agent will use:

  1. In ConsoleOne®, right-click the WebAccess Agent object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > SSL Settings to display the SSL Settings page.

  3. Fill in the Certificate File, SSL Key File, and Set Password fields:

    Certificate File: Select the server certificate file that the WebAccess Agent will use. The certificate file must be in Base64/PEM or PFX format. If you type the filename rather than using the Browse button to select it, use the full path if the file is not in the same directory as the WebAccess Agent program.

    SSL Key File: Select the key file associated with the certificate. If the private key is included in the certificate file rather than in a separate key file, leave this field blank. If you type the filename rather than using the Browse button to select it, use the full path if the file is not in the same directory as the WebAccess Agent program.

    Set Password: Click Set Password to specify the password for the key. If the key does not require a password, do not use this option.
