Initialize Trust Database

This page allows you to create the password for your SSL trust database.

The trust database stores the public and private keys, referred to as your key-pair file. This key-pair file is used for SSL encryption and is stored encrypted in the config directory of the server instance. Before requesting a server certificate, you must create a trust database for identifying your trusted entities.

tip The database password is sent in plain text from the client to the Administration Server. To minimize security risks, you should run the browser used for server administration on the same machine as the Administration Server, or run your Administration Server with SSL.
