Certificate Management Utility

If your Open Client application uses HTTPS (SSL), you must provide digital certificates with the application. Progress ships a small set of Root Digital Certificates with the Open Client Toolkit.

Most likely, there will be times when you need to manage digital certificates. For example:

The certificate files included with the Open Client Toolkit are stored in .zip and .jar files called Certificate Store files. For more information about digital certificates and the .zip and .jar files, see Configuration and Deployment."

Each Certificate Store file holds a number of individual Root Digital Certificates and contains one digital certificate list (.dclfile) that lists all the certificate files stored in the file. The individual certificates come in one of the following formats:

To help you manage digital certificates, Progress provides the Certificate Management Tool (procertm). The procertm tool runs on Windows platforms only and lets you import, export, and remove certificates to and from.jar and.zip files. You can also use this tool to convert digital certificates file formats.
