SSL (HTTPS) Configuration

A certificate is shipped with

Managed File Transfer

, which is used (by default) when a user connects to the

Managed File Transfer

Administrator through their browser over HTTPS. While this default certificate works for establishing a secure channel, users will see warnings about a host name mismatch when they connect. This is because the host name in the shipped certificate will be different than the host name of the machine which you installed

Managed File Transfer

to.

To avoid these host mismatch warnings, it is recommended to create your own certificate (for your machine’s host name) and update the

Managed File Transfer

configuration file with the new certificate information.

Follow the instructions below to create a new certificate and update the

Managed File Transfer

configuration file:

From within the

Managed File Transfer

browser-based Administrator, create a new certificate in the Default Private Keys Store. Read the section "Creating a New SSL Certificate" in the on-line help text to learn how to create a certificate. Note that the Common Name in the new certificate must match the domain name, host name, or IP address of the server on which

Managed File Transfer

is installed.

Open the configuration file [Install_Dir]/tomcat/conf/server.xml, where [Install_Dir] is the installation directory for

Managed File Transfer

. Then modify the value in the keyAlias attribute to be the alias of the new certificate you created in step 1.
