Import an Audit Log Client Certificate into the CDO

In the CDO high availability setup, you must use the active peer.

Before you begin

  • Obtain a Signed Audit Log Client Certificate for the CDO.

  • Make sure you are importing the signed certificate for the correct CDO.

  • If the signing authority that generated the certificate requires you to trust an intermediate CA, be prepared to provide the necessary certificate chain (or certificate path). The CA that signed the client certificate must be the same CA that signed any intermediate certificates in the certificate chain.
