Exporting the Grid Root Certificate in ION Grid for LifeCycle Manager

In LifeCycle Manager, you can export the self-signed certificate for the grid root key pair. This certificate can be installed in clients to enable trust in the grid, for example, when using server-authenticated SSL.

  1. In LifeCycle Manager, locate the grid you wish to connect to.
  2. In the Applications view, right-click on the grid and select Grid Maintenance > Manage Security.

    The Manage Security dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select the Export Grid SSL certificate radio button and click Next.
  4. In the Export properties window, select the folder to store the certificate. This is a directory on the machine that the LifeCycle Manager client is running on.
  5. Click Next and then Finish.

    The grid root certificate is written to the selected directory.
