Re: Documentation for new DCM?

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Markus,

I am trying to follow this logic.  If the server (DCM) generated the CSR 
and the registrar signs it and returned the signed certificate, the 
returned cert should then be OK to import into DCM. It has the public 
key that matches the private key in DCM.  I can't see anywhere in Jon's 
process where the keypair gets mismatched which is why your instructions 
leave me scratching my head.  He is having an external CA sign his 
certificate so I'm not sure I know where the "Personal Certificate" 
would come into play as you referenced.

With the new CSR signed from the certificate company the only valid option in DCM is to add the cert as additional certificate and then assign it to all the applications in the DCM. If you any Application Server (IBM Webadministration for i) don't forget to replace the cert's in there as well.
