Social media certificates

To communicate to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, your server requires the SSL certificates for these social networks to be installed.

When these certificates expire, you must refresh them on your server by removing then and adding them again.

Viewing certificates

To view a list of current certificates for Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, run the following command from the [wp\_profile\_root](../reference/wpsdirstr.md#wp_profile_root)/ConfigEngine directory:

  • Windows™

    ConfigEngine.bat action-list-wcm-social-certs

  • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-list-wcm-social-certs

  • IBM® i

    ConfigEngine.sh action-list-wcm-social-certs

  • z/OS®

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-list-wcm-social-certs

Removing certificates

To remove all current certificates for Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, run the following command from the [wp\_profile\_root](../reference/wpsdirstr.md#wp_profile_root)/ConfigEngine directory:

  • Windows™

    ConfigEngine.bat action-remove-wcm-social-certs

  • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-remove-wcm-social-certs

  • IBM® i

    ConfigEngine.sh action-remove-wcm-social-certs

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-remove-wcm-social-certs

Installing certificates

To install the certificates for Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, run the following command from the [wp\_profile\_root](../reference/wpsdirstr.md#wp_profile_root)/ConfigEngine directory:

  • Windows™

    ConfigEngine.bat action-install-wcm-social-certs

  • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-install-wcm-social-certs

  • IBM® i

    ConfigEngine.sh action-install-wcm-social-certs

  • z/OS®

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-install-wcm-social-certs

Note: If your server is located behind a firewall, you might need to manually import these certificates. See the WebSphere® Application Server documentation for instructions on importing certificates. The following locations are for each certificate type:

  • Facebook: graph.facebook.com

    Note: On z/OS systems, you must use the IP address of the Facebook certificate.

  • LinkedIn: api.linkedin.com

  • Twitter: api.twitter.com

SSL port 443 is the default SSL port for these certificates.
