21.1 Configuring the Advisor Service in FIPS 140-2 Mode

The Advisor service uses a secure HTTPS connection to download its feed from the Advisor server. The certificate used by the server for secure communication needs to be added to the Sentinel FIPS keystore database.

To verify successful registration with the Resource Management database:

  1. Download the certificate from the Advisor server and save the file as advisor.cer.

  2. Import the Advisor server certificate into the Sentinel FIPS keystore.

    For more information about importing the certificate, see Importing Certificates into FIPS Keystore Database.
