We are unable to create a working connector using https to connect from Identity Portal to Identity Manager when using a self signed certificate on the Identity Manger server.   The error messages related to SSL Trust issues.  Where do we add the IDM certificate to avoid this issue?

Resolution

Export Cert from IDM, this can be done by opening IDM in a browser and clicking on the little lock.  Each browser handles this differently but all provide a method to safe the certificate locally; then use keytool to import into the java security cacerts file. 

In Windows:

<JDK_HOME>/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -file c:\cert\jasperkeystore -alias IDMcert -keystore <JDK_HOME>\jre\lib\security\cacerts -storepass changeit

 

In UNIX:

<JDK_HOME>/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -file /opt/manoj/jasper.cer -alias IDMCert -keystore <JDK_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit
