Procedure

1. Export the SSL certificate from the Microsoft Exchange server by following these steps:
   1. From your Microsoft Windows system, go to the Microsoft IIS Manager.

2. Go to the console and log in as the user called root.

4. Move to the security directory by entering:

   cd $MP_ROOT/jre/jre/lib/security

5. Use the JDK keytool to install the certificate by entering the following:
