Configuring WebSphere Instance if Infor System Console Monitors Applications on Secure WebSphere Instances

Use this procedure if you are using Infor System Console to monitor applications, including LSF, MSCM, and Infor BI, and those applications are deployed in a WebSphere instance that is secured. This procedure consists of exporting and copying a certificate from the application's WebSphere to the WebSphere for the Infor System Console.

  1. In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console for the application running in a secured WebSphere instance, navigate to Security > SSL Certificate and Key Management > Key stores and certificates > CellDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates.
  2. Select the "root" alias and click Extract.
  3. On the Extract signer certificate page, specify a file name with a .der extension, select Binary DER data as the data type, and click Apply. After you click apply, a message will indicate where the file was stored.
  4. Copy the file to the machine where your Infor System Console WebSphere application server is located.
  5. On the machine where your Infor System Console WebSphere application server is located, navigate to WAS_HOME /profiles/Dmgr01/bin, and at the command line, type

    ikeyman

  6. In the IBM Key Management window, click Open from the Key Database File menu and browse to the trust.p12 file located in the etc directory within the profile directory for the Infor System Console. For example:

    WAS_HOME /profiles/ISCSrv01/etc

  7. Change the key database type to PKCS12 and click OK. (If prompted for a password, enter the password. The default password is WebAS.)
  8. Select Signer Certificates in the Key database content section.
  9. Click Add and browse to the extracted .der file copied from the secured Websphere. Enter a label for the certificate and click OK.
  10. In the WebSphere for the Infor System Console application server, navigate to Servers > Server Types > Application servers > yourISCAppServer > Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom properties, and verify that:

    • The WebSphere security credentials are present and correct for the secured WebSphere instance from which you just extracted and copied the .der file.

    • The value of the com.lawson.mobileadmin.lsf_appserver_path property is the path to the profile for the Infor Lawson System Foundation and Infor System Console application server.

  11. Restart the Infor System Console application server.
