Installing certificate chain on Jazz Team Server


Robert Wen (690412) | asked Jan 18 '17, 10:31 p.m.

 I've been given a certificate chain (root-intermediate-server) by a client for installation onto the Jazz Team Server v6.0.2.  Can anyone give steps to properly add this chain including which of these certificates go into cacerts?  Or is it a case where I need the private key to properly bundle the three certificates together into a .p12 for keytool to import as a keystore?


Thanks in advance!

OK, so to elaborate (or ask further questions):


For a 6.0.2 CLM  setup that uses the bundled WebSphere Liberty, I would look at the Tomcat support document.

If I do that, I would create a blank keystore and create a dummy CSR request to the company's CA (that would never get a reply).  I take the certificates and mark the root and intermediate as Signer Certificates and add into the keystore.  I then add the server certificate to the keystore.  Once added, I point the server to the new keystore.

But wouldn't the private key embedded in the certificate chain not match the CSR private key?

You do not need to create a dummy CSR request. You only need to:
- import root and intermediate certificate into "Signer Certificates"
- import the private key and personal certificate into "Personal Certificates"
