Copy the base-64 encoded certificate, including the
-----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE-----
and
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
marker lines, to the
clipboard or a text file. (Alternatively, you can keep the browser window open
and copy the certificate later in the procedure.)
The copied information should look similar to the following example:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

To locate the SSL server certificate in the master Certificate Manager’s certificate
database using the
certutil
tool:
1.
Open a terminal window in the system that hosts the master Certificate
Manager.
2.
Go to this directory:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/config
3.
Next, run this command:
<server_root>/bin/cert/tools/certutil -L -d <certdir>
-n <certname> cert-<instance_id> -a
replacing
<certdir>
with the directory containing a certificate database file,
<certname>
with the nickname of the SSL server certificate, and
<instance_id>
with the ID assigned to the master Certificate Manager
instance.
For example, your command might look like this:
<server_root>/bin/cert/tools/certutil -L -d . -n Server-Cert
cert-masterCA -a
The SSL server certificate appears.
4.
View the certificate information. Make sure that the certificate you are looking
at is the correct one; the certificate shows the DN that was specified for the
certificate during the installation.
