Downloading a Device Manager server truststore file
Download a truststore file for the Device Manager server (DeviceManagerCerts) from a Web
browser.
Operations to complete in advance
• Import a server certificate of the Device Manager server, if you use a server certificate issued by
a certificate authority.
• Import a server certificate of a certificate authority into the truststore (see “Importing a server
certificate into the Device Manager server truststore” on page 202).
• Import a server certificate into the keystore (see “Importing a server certificate into the Device
Manager server keystore” on page 198).
• Create a self-signed certificate for the Device Manager server, if you use a self-signed certificate.
HP recommends that you use a self-signed certificate only for testing encrypted communications
or any temporary use.
(see “Creating a key pair and a self-signed certificate for Device Manager server” on page 191)
Information to collect in advance
• Host name or IP address for the management server
• Non-SSL communication port number for the Device Manager server (default: 2001)
You can use the server.http.port property in the server.properties file for Device
Manager server to check the port number.
(see “server.http.port” on page 468)
• Device Manager user account
