Cognos Analytics

Good morning everyone, I'm trying to use our existing wildcard CA certificate to replace the Cognos self-signed certificate to handle HTTPS request without Cognos generating CSR. not successful so far, just came across  this post and looks like it may hold the key to my problem:

3rd Party SSL with pre-existing Wildcard Certificate | Cognos Analytics (ibm.com)

I have come to the point that I could import the 3rd party CA and private key to CAMKeystore.jks, but the problem is that Cognos continually overwrites that certificate after restarting and restored it back to the old self signed certificate. 

Have anyone met this problem and how to fix it?

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Try setting in AdvancedProperties, StandaloneCertificateAuthority=true. Also check "Use third party CA?" option in Crypto/Cognos.

Hope this helps.
