Adding NFA as https datasource in CA Performance center

Products

• CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)

Issue/Introduction

Current setup with NFA having https enabled for RIB service and CAPC with no https enabled 

Adding NFA as a datasource works correctly

Adding NFA as a datasource with https in CAPC  fails with below error

 

 

Environment

Release : NFA 10.0.x / CAPC 3.7

Component : NQRPTA - REPORTERANALYZER/ CAPC

Resolution

Import the NFA server client certificate into CAPC:
 
Copy the certificate over to CAPC server and import it using below as example 

<CAPC_install_dir>/jre/bin/keytool -import -alias <some_alias> -trustcacerts -file nfa-ca-cert.pem -keystore <CAPC_install_dir>/jre/lib/security/cacerts

 

After this can add Network Flow Analysis as a data source in CAPC with https as the protocol successfully
