A signer certificate is the trusted certificate entry that
is usually in a truststore file. You can import a certificate authority (CA)
root certificate from the CA, or a public certificate from the self-signed
personal certificate of the target into your truststore file, as a signer
certificate.
Procedure
- Start the key management
utility (iKeyman), if it is not already running.
- Open the truststore file. The Password Prompt window
displays.
- Type the password and click OK.
- Select Signer Certificates from the menu.
- Click Add.
- Click Data type and select a data type, such as Base64-encoded
ASCII data. This data type must match the data type of the importing
certificate.
- Type a certificate file name and location for the CA root digital
certificate or click Browse to select the name and location.
- Click OK.
- Type a label for the importing certificate.
- Click OK.
Results
The Signer Certificates field now displays the label of the
signer certificate you just added. Receive a CA root certificate or the public
key from your secure target.
