8.2 Trusted Certificate Authorities

Access Manager 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 4.2 Administration Guide .

  2. Configure Identity Server to use externally signed certificates.

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

  3. Configure Access Gateway to use externally signed certificates.
