Installing SSL Certificate in WebSphere Application Server

In certain cases, when you integrate your application with third party services, you might have encountered hand shake error while trying to connect with the service. To resolve the error, we need to install the certificate provided by the third party in our application server. Below are the steps to be followed to install the certificate in Websphere Application Server.

1. Login to Administrative Console of WAS.

2. Expand the section "Security" in the left hand side and select "SSL certificate and key management".


3. From the page displayed above, click on "Key stores and certificates" option in the right hand side  under "Related Items" heading.



4. Click on NodeDefaultTrustStore option displayed above.



5. Now click on the "Signer Certificate" link of the right hand side, which is under "Additional Properties". It will show the list of certificates already installed. Click on "Add" button on the top.


6. Mention an alias name and the path where the certificate file is present, including the certificate file name. Click Apply. The certificate will get installed in the server.


This will resolve the hand shake error.
