Adding a trusted certificate for external services

These certificates are used to establish trust relationships with external services. For example, certificates in this truststore are used when retrieving warranty information from Lenovo, creating tickets, forwarding events to an external application (such as Splunk), and using external LDAP servers.

Before you begin

Certificates in this trust store are not trusted when establishing connections for other services unless you also add them to the main trusted-certificates truststore. Removing certificates from this truststore prevents successful operation of these services.

Procedure

To add a trusted certificate, complete the following steps.

  1. From the XClarity Orchestrator menu bar, click Administration (Administration icon) > Security, and then click External Services Certificates in the left navigation to display the Trusted Certificates for External Services card.
