Exporting the Certificate Used by Code Insight

The following sections describe how to use the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser to export the SSL certificate used by the Code Insight Core Server.

To use another browser type to export the certificate, follow the instructions specific to that browser.

Using Chrome​

The following steps describe how to use a Chrome browser to export the Code Insight SSL certificate.

To export the certificate using a Chrome browser, do the following:

  1. Access the Code Insight Web UI in a Chrome browser.
  2. Click the padlock icon next to the website URL.
  3. From the pop-up window, select Certificate.
  4. On the Certificate window, click the Details tab.
  5. On the Details tab, select Copy to File....
  6. Follow the wizard instructions to export the certificate to a file. (The wizard allows you to export the certificate contents in the format you require—DER, Base 64, or Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard.)
  7. At the end of the wizard process, save the file to any location. If you save the file to a location not accessible by the machine on which the Code Insight scan agent resides, copy the file to such a location before beginning the import phase.

Using Firefox​

Use the following steps to export the certificate in a Mozilla Firefox browser.

This browser exports the certificate as .cer content only. If you need to export the certificate contents to a DER format, perform the export process using a browser that supports this format.

  1. Access the Code Insight Web UI in a Firefox browser.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the browser, click to open the Firefox hamburger menu, and select Options.
  3. In the Find in Options search field, enter cer, and click .
  4. Scroll through the search results to locate the Certificates section, and click View Certificates.
  5. On the Certificate Manager window, click Servers to list the available certificates.
  6. Select the Code Insight Core Server certificate, and click Export.
  7. Click Save to export the certificate to a file in any location. If you save the file to a location not accessible by the machine on which the Code Insight scan agent plugin resides, copy the file to such a location before beginning the import phase.
  8. Click OK to close the Certificate Manager window.
