How to officially import an Self-Signed SSL certificate in keystore on FME Server?

geojanmov

Root certificates are automatically placed in “C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\jre\\lib\\security”. This is where the keystore is and also our self-signed root certificate with others. In “C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\ssl” we can find only the PEM file which is obtained from Mozilla (public root certificates).

 

Unfortunately we cannot find anywhere how to use the keystore instead of a standard PEM file, as FME takes only public root certificates. Now we made some changes in the PEM file to import the root certificate. But how to officially import an Self-Signed SSL certificate in keystore on FME Server?

Kind regards,

GeoJan

    Hi @geojan,

    Have you followed our documentation steps for using a self signed certificate? They should walk you through importing certificates or using a self signed certificate.

     

    We also have additional information on this site, specifically our troubleshooting guide that may provide more information.

     

     

    Alternatively, if what you're trying to do isn't covered by us, it may be worth looking online to see if anyone else has achieved it. As with HTTPS/SSL you're actually configuring Tomcat directly (to import certificates etc) there may be information specific to using pem files and tomcat.

     

     

     

    If you think it's configured but FME Server isn't working in the browser properly, looking through the tomcat logfiles should give an error message detailing what's not working.

    Thanks for your response. I'm going to look into the troubleshooting guide.
