SSL with a CA certificate

To use SSL with a CA certificate with Digital Lab and UFT One, you must first install your CA certificate on your computer.

Note: If you are using a self-signed certificate, the certificate is installed by default and this topic is not relevant.

Install your CA certificate on the UFT One machine

Install your CA certificate on the UFT One machine once for the Digital Lab server, and once for each connector machine.

To install your CA certificate:

  1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the Digital Lab server or connector machine using the following syntax:

    https://<server_name_or_IP_address>:<port>

    The default port is 8443, but you can modify this during the Digital Lab installation.

    Internet Explorer may display a message about security issues with the website's security certificate.

  2. Open the Internet Explorer Options dialog box (Tools > Internet Options), and add the URL to the list of trusted sites.

    1. In the Security Zone, select Continue to this website (not recommended).

    2. On the page that opens, click Certificate error > View certificates > Install Certificate.

    3. Install the certificate using the wizard.

      Select Place all certificates in the following store, and then click Browse.

    4. Select Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and then complete the wizard.

      If a security warning appears, click Yes to confirm the installation.

  3. In Internet Explorer, refresh the Digital Lab server or connector machine URL, and verify that there are no SSL certificate-related errors.

    Note: In most cases, SSL-related errors are generated by the operating system.

  4. In the UFT One Options dialog, enter your Digital Lab server address and port. Click Test Connection to verify that UFT One can now successfully connect to the Digital Lab server.
