Abstract

When integrating a Box repository with IBM® Content Navigator, it is necessary to connect to IBM Content Navigator and Box with a secure HTTPS connection.

Contents

The information in this web doc guides you through adding the IBM® Content Navigator server’s certificate to the desktop browser for Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. This document is an associated web doc for the web doc How to Successfully Integrate IBM Content Navigator with Box Repository, TIPS1350, found at:

Use the web server administrative console to check that the server that is hosting IBM Content Navigator has a valid SSL Server Certificate, which is self-signed or signed by a recognized authority. Ensure that the desktop browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox) can establish a trusted HTTPS connection to the web server without any certificate errors or security risk warnings. It is important that you are not presented with a certificate error.

Figure 1 shows an example of an IBM WebSphere® root certificate in the IBM WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
