Importing the IBM Cognos client certificate to Control-M for IBM Cognos JRE

This procedure describes how to import the IBM Cognos client certificate to the Control-M for IBM Cognos that enables you to connect to an SSL-enabled IBM Cognos dispatcher.

To import the IBM Cognos client certificate to Control-M for IBM Cognos JRE:

1. Log in to the Control-M/Agent computer where Control-M for IBM Cognos is installed.
2. Navigate to one of the following directory:
   • Windows: <Agent install dir>\cm\COGNOS\JRE\bin
   • UNIX: <Agent install dir>/cm/COGNOS/JRE/bin
3. Verify that the following Windows/UNIX file has write privileges:
   • Windows: <Agent install dir>\cm\COGNOS\JRE\lib\security\cacerts
   • UNIX: <Agent install dir>/cm/COGNOS/JRE/lib/security/cacerts
4. Type the following command:
   • Windows: >.\keytool –import –file <temp dir>\CognosCacert.cer –keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts –alias Cognos
   • UNIX: >./keytool –import –file <temp dir>/CognosCacert.cer –keystore ../lib/security/cacerts –alias Cognos

   The dot slash (./) in front of the keytool command is required to ensure the certificate is imported to the Control-M for IBM Cognos JRE and not the computer default JRE.

5. At the password prompt, type changeit.
6. Type y to accept the certificate.
