For more information about certificates, consult the Microsoft online help available with the Certificate
snap-in to MMC.
NOTE If you off-load SSL connections to an intermediate server, you must import the same SSL server
certificate onto both the intermediate server and the off-loaded View server. For details, see "Off-load SSL
Connections to Intermediate Servers" in the View Administration document.
Prerequisites
Verify that the Certificate snap-in was added to MMC. See “Add the Certificate Snap-In to MMC,” on
page 82.
Procedure
1 In the MMC window on the Windows Server host, expand the Certificates (Local Computer) node and
select the Personal folder.
2 In the Actions pane, go to More Actions > All Tasks > Import.
3 In the Certificate Import wizard, click Next and browse to the location where the certificate is stored.
4 Select the certificate file and click Open.
To display your certificate file type, you can select its file format from the File name drop-down menu.
5 Type the password for the private key that is included in the certificate file.
6 Select Mark this key as exportable.
7 Select Include all extended properties.
8 Click Next and click Finish.
The new certificate appears in the Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates folder.
9 Verify that the new certificate contains a private key.
a In the Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates folder, double-click the new
certificate.
b In the General tab of the Certificate Information dialog box, verify that the following statement
appears: You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate.
What to do next

Modify the Certificate Friendly Name
To configure a View Connection Server instance or security server to recognize and use an SSL certificate,
you must modify the certificate Friendly name to vdm.
You do not have to modify the Friendly name of SSL certificates that are used by View Composer.
Prerequisites
Verify that the server certificate is imported into the Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates
folder in the Windows Certificate Store. See “Import a Signed Server Certificate into a Windows Certificate
Store,” on page 82.
Procedure
1 In the MMC window on the Windows Server host, expand the Certificates (Local Computer) node and
select the Personal > Certificates folder.
2 Right-click the certificate that is issued to the View server host and click Properties.
