Configuring HTTPS on Linux systems
Other than the BACS management application, no special software components are required on a Linux
client system to use HTTP.
To use HTTPS on a Linux client, import a self-signed certificate.
Import a self-signed certificate
Linux distributions use the following directory for certificates:
SuSE uses /etc/ssl/certs
Red Hat can use one of two different directories:
/etc/ssl/certs
or
/etc/pki/tls/certs
If needed for the specific Linux distribution, determine which directory stores the certificates.
To import a self-signed certificate:
1. Copy the hostname.pem file into the certificate directory.
