[RESOLVED] WAPT Multi-Administrator Console

Hello,
I'm new to using WAPT. I installed the server on a Windows VM and the console on my own machine. So far, so good.
We installed the console on a colleague's computer so that several people can manage WAPT.
However, we're having certificate issues. He's getting error messages when installing packages. Is there a procedure to determine which certificate to transfer or recreate for him so he can use the console on his machine?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

how did you handle the certificates?
When you opened the console, did you create a new certificate or did you transfer the existing one?

Hello,

we recreated a certificate and I think the problem stems from that. I don't know which file to transfer or where to place it on the second admin workstation.
But it's not working. Is there a procedure to follow for this second workstation using the admin console?

Thank you in advance.

Hello SebR,

as described in the documentation, security is based on asymmetric cryptography. When you create a key, it creates a private key (a .pem file in WAPT) and a public key (a .crt certificate in WAPT). You can see where you created them in the console, under "Tools"/"Preferences", in the "Personal Certificate Path" dialog box.
If you want to use the same certificate on the second machine, you must copy the .pem and .crt files to the same directory on the second machine, then select the .crt file in the console (the console retrieves the .pem file by searching for a file with the same name and the .pem extension).

Regards,

Denis
