Scenario: Connection between the Dynamic Workload Console and the HCL Workload Automation components

The Dynamic Workload Console connects in SSL mode with the HCL Workload Automation components by using the default certificates. You might configure the Dynamic Workload Console to connect in SSL mode by using your certificates.

You can have SSL communication between the Dynamic Workload Console and one of the following components:

master domain manager
Backup master domain manager
Dynamic domain manager
Backup dynamic domain manager
Agent

When you are customizing the Dynamic Workload Console settings, make sure the keys have the same password as the keystore where they are saved. The Dynamic Workload Console keystore password must be the same as the Dynamic Workload Console client and HCL Workload Automation server.

Note: When you configure the Dynamic Workload Console to connect to different agents, the Dynamic Workload Console truststore must have a certificate for each agent to enable SSL connection.
