Installing a client certificate

Before you begin, obtain a client certificate for client and server authentication from your IT department for any client application (caller SOAP service endpoint) that does not already have one. For more details on the certificate attributes required, contact Itron Support. After obtaining the client certificate, perform the following tasks:

1. If the CA certificate is provided separately, install the public server certificate CA to the machine store: Certificates (Local Computer) > Trusted Root Certification Authorities.

2. Install the client certificate with only the public key to the machine store: Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal.

3. Obtain a public server certificate thumbprint: Certificates (Local Computer) > Details > Thumbprint. Copy and paste this thumbprint to a text editor to delete the extra white space and to remove the hidden special characters at the beginning of the thumbprint.

Important! Be sure to save this thumbprint. It is used in the client application configuration.
