Basic Security and Certificates for Administrator

[Scherie Drewa]

I am confused on where to put the administrator certificates.  Documentation says the administrator-cert.der and the enc-administrator-key der go in the following directory:

… integratorservercertsissued

(this is where I have them)

but later in doc, it also says this directory:

…integratorclientcerts

Where do they go?

Thanks, Scherie

I have my administrator certs in both places.

I struggled through the documentation as well.  Its been very much a trial and error process, and I continue to learn about basic security.  For instance, when recently upgrading from 5.3 to 5.6, I didn’t see any documentation stating this, but I had to re-upgrade to basic security (from none) and also make sure the certs for admin and users was where it needed to be.  Not difficult and makes perfect sense, but undocumented as part of the 5.6 installation documentation.

Unfortunately, basic security has tickled internal audit (thankfully in a good way) so we’ll be keeping it  🙂

Thanks Courtney.  We recently upgraded to 5.6, from 5.2.
