Install Security Certificates

It is only necessary to install security certificates if your organization uses self-signed certificates.

Before you can connect to a real-time server for the first time, you must install the necessary security certificates on the machine on which you will be using Automation Studio. Two certificates are required: one for Apache and one for Apache Tomcat.

If you need to connect to multiple real-time servers, you must install security certificates for each.

If a real-time server for which you have already installed security certificates has been reinstalled, you must follow the instructions below to install new security certificates for that server.

An error is displayed if you try to connect to a real-time server for which you have not installed security certificates.
