Secure Fill between iChain and Linux Server

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 2 Sep 2004

Q:
I can't get Secure Fill working between iChain and iManager on Nterprise Linux Services. Suggestions?



A:
Nterprise Linux Services only installs a self-signed certificate for SSL purposes. This self-signed certificate does not have a Trusted Root to export and install in the Trusted Roots container in the iChain authorization tree.

In order to enable Secure Fill between iChain and the Linux server you must create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on the Linux server and have a CA sign it. You can use the Novell Certificate Authority or any Third-party authority to do so.

See this page for details on creating a CSR and installing the signed certificate on Linux for Apache Web Server.
