AP CCI location of security certificate

Products

• Automation Point

Issue/Introduction

When using Automation Point with a connection to OPS/MVS on the mainframe, you need to setup a CCI connection in the Automation Point Configuration Manager. Some companies require TLS security and a security certificate is needed. During the installation the default security certificate (cert.pem) is stored in the C:\Program Files (X86)\CA\CA_APPSW directory. When using it, additional customization is needed and saved. 

Environment

Release:
Component: ATMXC

Resolution

The best location of the new, changed CERT.PEM file is in the C:\ProgramData\CA\CA_Automation Point\Site\MyFiles\ directory, or in another C:\ProgramData directory. The reason to this is that during the installation, or upgrade of Automation Point the C:\Program Files (X86)\CA\CA_APPSW  will be deleted and rebuild with the new installation. Because of this delete also your customized CERT.PEM file will be lost.
