How do I configure a Windows™ tablet device?
In order to connect your Windows™ tablet device to IBM Traveler, the IBM® Domino® Server must be configured for SSL.
One type of SSL configuration uses a Self Signed Certificate (SSC).
Consult the IBM® Domino® documentation for information about
creating a SSC and configuring SSL on your IBM® Domino® server.
Once your IBM® Domino® Server is configured for SSL using
your SSC, you must make a modification to the Windows™ tablet device. The SSC you created
on your IBM® Domino® Server uses a RSA key size of 512K.
However, the Windows™ tablet
device defaults to a RSA size of 2048K. To change the default RSA
key size from 2048K to 512K, perform the following steps.
- Open a command prompt with administrator privileges:
- Swipe up from the Start screen and then touch the All apps charm.
- On the Apps screen, locate the Windows™ System heading. You may need to swipe or scroll depending on the size of your view.
- Press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt.
- Press or click Run as administrator from the menu that appears.
- Press or click Yes if you are prompted
with a User Account Control message. An elevated Command Prompt window
displays. Note: If your Windows™ tablet account does not have administrator privileges, you may be prompted with a different message asking for credentials from another account on your computer that does have administrator privileges. You must comply before you will be allowed to open an elevated Command Prompt.
- At the command prompt, execute the following command:
certutil -setreg chain\minRSAPubKeyBitLength 512
- When the command completes, reboot the Windows™ tablet device so the change takes effect.
- When the Windows™ tablet
device restarts, open Internet Explorer in Administrator mode:
- At the Start screen, click the Desktop tile.
- Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the start bar
- Highlight Internet Explorer.
- Click Run as administrator... or press Shift-Ctrl-Enter to launch Internet Explorer in Administrator (elevated permission) mode.
- Browse to your IBM Traveler server's web access
page using HTTPS, for example:
https://my-traveler-server.com/traveler
. - Ignore any warnings about certificates, and select Continue to this website.
- Click on the red certificate warning in the Internet Explorer address bar.
- Click View certificates.
- Click Install certificate. The Certificate Import Wizard displays.
- Leave Store Location as the current user.
- Select Place all certificates in the following store, then click Browse to select Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
- Complete the wizard.
- Click Yes to install the certificate.
