7.2 Trusted Certificate Authorities

Access Manager Appliance ships with a CA. During installation, Access Manager CA creates and distributes certificates. For added security, replace these certificates with certificates from a well-known CA.

To use certificates signed by an external CA, perform the following activities:

  1. Obtain externally signed certificates.

    For more information, see Obtaining Externally Signed Certificates in the NetIQ Access Manager Appliance 4.2 Administration Guide.

  2. Configure Access Gateway to use externally signed certificates.

    For more information, see Configuring the Access Gateway to Use an Externally Signed Certificate in the NetIQ Access Manager Appliance 4.2 Administration Guide.
