Management Console: Applying Certificates to Remove Self-Signed Security Issues

Without an SSL certificate, your web browser might display an error screen stating that the identity of the ProfileUnity Management Console is not verified or that the certificate name does not match the hostname.

To resolve this problem, complete the following steps:

  1. Create an SSL certificate/key pair in a PFX file to your specifications like you normally would for any web-based application hosted in your environment.
  2. Log in to the ProfileUnity Management Console.
  3. Hover over your username in the top right corner of the screen.
  4. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the Administration option.
  5. The Administration screen opens with the Settings tab displayed.
  6. Scroll down and click to open the WebServices section.
  7. Make the following change to the settings:
    • Change the Session Timeout in Minutes field from 720 to 15.
  8. Click the Update button in the top right corner of the screen.
  9. Click the Import New Certificate button and browse to your PFX key-pair, enter the PFX password, and click Import.
  10. Wait for ProfileUnity services to restart.
