Environment

NetIQ Privileged User Manager

Situation

Can NetIQ Privileged User Manager (NPUM) use a wildcard certificate?

Resolution

A certificate for theNetIQ Privileged User Manager (NPUM) Manager is installed from the Manager console via Hosts | <manager host>|Packages|Admin|Install Certificate.

NetIQ Privileged User Manager (NPUM) can only use a certificate created on the NPUM server.  Any certificates generated on a different server won't have the private key installed and therefore will generate an error when a certificate install is attempted.

Certificates for use on a particular NPUM  manager have to be generated from that manager.
An enhancement request was submitted to add this functionality.
