Configure a Custom SSL Certificate
Configure a custom SSL certificate to avoid certificate errors when connecting to the Data Collector website. An SSL certificate is also
required to communicate with a directory service using LDAP with the StartTLS extension or the LDAPS protocol.
Prerequisites
• The custom certificate must be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) that is trusted by the hosts in your network.
NOTE: If the certificate is signed by an intermediate CA instead of a root CA, then the entire certificate chain must
be imported in PEM format. The certificate chain must also include the root CA apart from all the intermediate CAs.
• The certificate public key file must be in DER or PEM format.
• The certificate private key file must be in PKCS #12 format.
• You must know the alias and password for the private key.
