Import a new SSL certificate for the BlackBerry Administration Service and BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager

When you install the BlackBerry Administration Service and BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager, the setup application generates an SSL certificate to protect the HTTPS connection. You can import a self-signed SSL certificate or a trusted certificate that a certification authority signs after the installation process completes. If you configure a BlackBerry Administration Service pool, you must generate an SSL certificate that uses the name of the BlackBerry Administration Service pool.

For more information about using the keytool, visit java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html.

Before you begin: If you want to use a trusted certificate, copy the root certificate of the certification authority to the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service.

1.On a computer that hosts a BlackBerry Administration Service instance, in <drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\BAS\bin\web.keystore , back up the web.keystore file.

2.Using the keytool in <drive>:\Program Files\Java\<JRE_version>\bin , delete the default SSL certificate that the setup application generated (for example, keytool -delete -alias httpssl -keystore "<drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\BAS\bin\web.keystore").

3.Using the keytool and the SSL password that you specified when you installed the BlackBerry Administration Service, generate a new entry and private key in the web.keystore file (for example, keytool -genkey -alias httpssl -keypass <password> -keystore "<drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\BAS\bin
