    The following instructions show how to copy the files using the Firefox browser. The Firefox browser can be downloaded from www.firefox.com, if necessary.

    https://demo4.strongkey.com/getstarted/assets/documents/HTML/images/key_strong_cyan.pngNOTE: While it is possible to perform these “certificate-trust” steps using another browser, such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari, StrongKey has not documented these detailed steps in this document. Those familiar with connecting to a site with an unknown TLS certificate and then viewing and saving the TLS certificate to a computer are welcome to use any browser to perform these steps. There is no difference in the TLS certificate no matter which browser downloads the certificate.

    The images below show the required files being downloaded from https://demo2.strongauth.com:8181/ or https://demo3.strongauth.com:8181/. Just follow the instructions, substituting the demo2.strongkey.com or demo3.strongkey.com site name with the FQDN of the SAKA server:

    https://demo4.strongkey.com/getstarted/assets/documents/HTML/images/key_strong_cyan.pngNOTE: demo2 and demo3 represent a cluster of two SAKA nodes. They are configured in the DMZ of StrongKey's domain and replicate to each other over a local area network. To use the Demo client to test against StrongKey's demo appliances, either URL should work for the examples provided below. The internal cluster is likely to have the same or more SAKA nodes, and may or may not support all web services, depending on what has been configured for use.

    1. From a PC, using the Firefox browser, type in the URL of the SAKA server in the address bar; the URL must specify the https protocol and port 8181. For example, if the primary SAKA server is saka01 in yourdomain.com, the URL would be https://saka01.yourdomain.com:8181/index.html. The following screen displays in the browser:

    2. Click I Understand the Risks. The following image displays:

    3. Select the Add Exception... button. The Add Security Exception dialog displays.

    4. In the Location field, type the URL of the certificate and click Get Certificate. The View... button lights up.

    5. To view the certificate, click View…. The Certificate Viewer dialog displays.

    6. Click the Details tab.

    7. Click Export… Then add a .pem extension to the filename. Select the directory where the Client Demo files will be installed, then click Save.

    8. Select the Close button on the Certificate Viewer dialog.

    This successfully concludes the section on how to copy the SAKA TLS certificate and the sakaclient.jar file to a local PC using the Firefox browser.
