To enable a secured connection between the plugin and the deister system, deister Commander must have a valid certificate installed. If this certificate is self-signed, you must also install it into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on the plugin server.
Procedure
-
If you do not already have a valid TLS certificate for the deister system,
obtain one from a trusted certificate authority or create a self-signed
certificate on the deister server.
For help on how to deploy a certificate, contact your IT department. You can also see an example method at the Microsoft website.
- Install the certificate on your deister Commander server. For more information, see the Integration of an SSL certificate application note from deister Commander Connect Technical Documentation.
-
On your Security Center server, open a web browser and navigate to the HTTPS
endpoint for deister Commander.
By default, the URL is https://<hostname>:8443/proxSafeWebService2/services/WebService.WebServiceHttpsSoap11Endpoint, where <hostname> is the host name of your deister Commander server.NOTE: If the certificate you installed in step 2 is from a trusted certificate authority, then the connection is secure and you do not need to do the following steps.
-
If the site is not secure, then click Not secure, and
then click Certificate is not valid.
NOTE: The certificate export method and security status messages might vary between web browsers.
-
In the window that opens, click Details, click
Export, and then save the certificate to the hard
drive.
-
Import the certificate that you exported in step 5 to the Trusted
Root Certification Authorities store on the Security Center
server.

Enter certlm.msc and click
OK.
