Obtaining and Installing an SSL Certificate

You must obtain a valid SSL certificate for the Distributed Compute Gateway (DCG) server. This can be an officially validated third-party certificate, or a self-signed certificate generated for the DCG server.


Important:  When creating a certificate, you must specify the hostname as it will be accessed from the Ansys Minerva server. This is the value specified for the URL: Discovery Service setting in the Job Server definition in Ansys Minerva (see Defining Job Servers in the Ansys Minerva Configuration Guide for more details).

For example, if you have https://hqserver01.mydomain.com:2000 then your certificate must be generated as hqserver01.mydomain.com. The two must match and have the same case.
