Generating a Web Server Certificate<br />

The <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Server (JSS) requires a valid web server certificate to ensure that computers<br />

communicate with the JSS and not an imposter server.<br />

If you already have a web server certificate from an internal certificate authority (CA) or a trusted thirdparty<br />

vendor, follow the vendor’s instructions for using the certificate with Tomcat.<br />

If you do not have a valid web server certificate, you can generate one from the CA that is built into the<br />

JSS. To do this, the JSS must be installed as the “ROOT” web application and the user running the Tomcat<br />

process must have read/write access to Tomcat’s server.xml file.<br />

To generate a web server certificate from the built-in CA:<br />

1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.<br />

2. Click the Settings tab.<br />

3. Click the General Settings link.<br />

4. Click the Server Configuration tab.<br />

5. Click the Replace with certificate from the JSS’s built-in CA link.<br />

6. Click Save.<br />

7. Restart Tomcat to begin utilizing the certificate.<br />

For instructions on how to restart Tomcat, see the Knowledge Base article at:<br />
