possibility to assign the certificate from DCM console for Navigator and DCM web portal

Today we have to manage or assign the certifiate outside DCM console especially while renewing new certificate we have to manage all tcp enabled ssl service in DCM console and for navigator and DCM outside DCM console like web admin console and navigator console. it would be good if IBM centralize same as other TCP services application definition for DCM(ADMIN3) and Navigator (ADMIN1) in DCM *system keystore.

    can you please help me the url or technical page please?

    does it has same function when we renew the ssl certificate for all TCP server in DCM, can we just select all servers in one go and assign the certificate including for Navigator or application server (admin1, admin2...)?

    as i know we have wizard option in Navigator, it would be good that we have application server certificate assigning option in DCM which will allow to assign renewed certificate faster.

    With the latest versions of navigator, we have centralized the management for the certificates for all the TCP servers. We have created new wizard to allow for easy assignment of new certificate as well as a new pages that shows clearly the servers with certificates assigned and their expiration dates. Please check the Navigator version being published in Sept 2025.
