Login into Policy Manager

[Pratyush Singh]

Hi Team,

 

Can you please clarify the below doubts for me:

 

1.) I want to login in Policy Manager via "Certificate" not username and password. So i need to generate certificate or private key.

 

2.) Can someone please explain the difference between "Manage Certificate" and "Manage private keys". Where to use when?

 

Thanks much in advance and sorry for such silly questions.

 

Regards

Praty

Hi,

 

This is how i usually do it

 

1. created a user with name xyz 

2.create a private key with name xyz. ( make sure the cn value matches the user name )

3. from internal identity provider find user xyz, go to cert tab -> import, choose option import from known trusted certificate and choose the cert

4. from manage private keys exported the key as .p12

5. form manage listening port enable another port for example 7443 for policy manger access and from properties of this port assign server private key as xyz in software db

6. assign admin role to user xyz

7. now launch policy manger and from client cert option add the private key for xyz which we exported out previously.
