WBEM Services Release Notes (5900-1625, April 2011)

Importing server certificates to trust store
CIM client applications must maintain a trust store in the <trust_store-name>.pem file. The
CIM client applications must import the certificates stored in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem
to a trust store file on the client machine from various CIM Server machines (ones the client wants
to connect to).
With C++ CIM client libraries, the trust store should be in PEM format.
To import a server certificate, copy the public certificate from the server to the client application:
1. Copy the certificate (/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem) from the system where HP
WBEM Services is installed.
NOTE: Do not copy the key in the /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.pem, copy only the
public certificate in the /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem file.
2. Use the ssltrustmgr command to add the certificate (from cert.pem) to the trust store
<trust_store-name>.pem on the client machine.
NOTE: The wbemexec command uses the file /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/client.pem
as its trust store. Import the server certificates for this client into the /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/
client.pem file.
