Copy Server root certificate to the Client Machine

If you want to connect a distributed/mirror node to a Historian primary mirror server, or you want to connect your collectors to a remote Historian server, you need the server specific root certificates (ica_key.cer and ica_key.pfx) on the client machine to establish a successful handshake. To establish a successful handshake, you must copy the root certificates from the server machine and place them on the machines where the mirror nodes or collectors are installed.

Procedure

1. On the server machine, from the <Install directory>\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy Historian\MTLS folder, copy the following root certificate files: ica_key.cer and ica_key.pfx.
2. On the client machine (remote mirror nodes or collectors) place them in the <Install directory>\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy Historian\MTLS folder.
3. Add the certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder.
