Rana,
If you are using WebSphere you can add a certificate for your external application that is trying to connect to Maximo. Here are some steps:
1. Log into the administrative console.
2. Expand Security and click SSL certificate and key management.
3. Under Related Items, click Key stores and certificates, then click the CellDefaultTrustStore link
4. Under Additional Properties, click Signer certificates
5. Click the Retrieve From Port button
6. In the Host field, enter hostname of your third party app
7. Enter the Port (usually 443 will work)
8. Enter an alias of your choice to the certificate in the Alias field
9. Click Retrieve Signer Information.
10. Verify that the certificate information is correct, then click Apply and Save
You can also do an Add versus Retrieve if you have a crt file to load.
Hope this helps,
Mike
