Re: Documentation for new DCM?

Thanks for the step by step Pete.

Sadly it didn't help - I can only think that the helpdesk person who generated the cert messed something up.

I have issued a new Cert Request and sent the file to them attached to a support ticket. Had no choice but to go this route as their web process just stalls out during the validation phase.

Will update this thread when it is all fixed. Thanks goodness I didn't wait until the day before the old one expired!

OK. Just to hopefully stick a fork in this issue. In the new DCM, the process is as follows:

Login to the new DCM. Select "Open Certificate Store" and choose "*System". Under "Certificates" there should be a link to "Import". On the "Import Certificate" page choose certificate type of "Server or Client" (this is where I went wrong by choosing "CA Certificate")

Now, if you are like me an REUSE the CSR, make sure you check the "Automatically Renewed Certificate" checkbox. If you generated a new CSR, leave the checkbox unchecked. Select the location of the certificate file in the IFS and then continue. Mine imported right away. Worked like a champ with the new DCM.

Let me know if it doesn't work correctly for you.....

Good idea.

I was lucky to find that using the old DCM to import the cert worked (when
generating the CSR from the new DCM) because I thought shoot... if this
doesn't work I will probably have to buy a new cert... Not that it's a lot
of $$ but a hassle as well.
