About this task
When a certificate is updated on the ADFS server, you must also upload an updated certificate to the instance.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Definition > Certificates.
Select New.
On the form, fill in the fields.
Field Description Name Specify a unique name for the certificate. Expiration notification [Optional] Select whether you want to send a notification when the certificate is about to expire. Active Select whether the instance should use this certificate for secure communications and signing requests. Short Description [Optional] Enter a text description of the certificate such as the requester or server name. Format Select the certificate format. The instance supports the PEM and DER formats. Type Select the certificate container. The instance recognizes certificates from trust stores, Java keystore, and PKCS#12 keystores. PEM Certificate Enter the base-64 encoded PEM-formatted text containing the DER certificate. The instance decodes the certificate to populate the Valid from, Expires, Expires in days, Issuer, and Subject fields. Select Submit.
During the upload, the module extracts and displays the certificate's read-only properties in these fields:
- Valid from date
- Expiration date
- Issuer
- Subject of the certificate
- Select Validate Stores/Certificates to check if the certificate is correct.
If the instance encounters any errors with the certificate or keystore, it displays an error message.
