On-premises customers must install a Secure Channel Certificate to establish security between the AWCM and the following components: AirWatch Console, Device Services, API, and the Self-Service Portal.

About this task

Important:

Perform the following steps on the server running AWCM. Do not download the installation program onto another computer and copy it to the AWCM server. If the download fails on the server running AWCM, then contact AirWatch Support for potential workarounds.

Note:

If you make any changes to the Secure Channel Certificate in the AWCM keystore after you have downloaded and installed AirWatch Tunnel or Enterprise Systems Connector, then you will need to uninstall, delete all folders, re-download and re-install it.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Groups & Settings > All Settings > System > Advanced > Secure Channel Certificate.
  2. Select Download AWCM Secure Channel Installer within the AirWatch Cloud Messaging section to begin the installation of the Secure Channel Certificate install script.

    The Secure Channel Installer for Linux is only used for the Cloud Notification Service. AWCM is only supported on Windows servers.

  3. Copy the Secure Channel Certificate install script to your local AWCM server and right-click to Run as Administrator to execute and install.
  4. Enter or select Browse to find the Truststore path and select OK.
  5. Select OK when a Message dialog box appears informing you that the Certificate was added to keystore.
  6. Proceed with the steps for Establishing Communications with AWCM.
