consumer SSL certificate for this configuration.
The Identity Server comes with a test-consumer certificate that you must replace for your
production environment. This certificate is used for identity consumer introductions. You can
replace the test certificate now or after you have configured the Identity Server. If you create
the certificate and replace the test-connector now, you can save some time by restarting Tomcat
only once. Tomcat must be restarted whenever you assign an Identity Server to a configuration
and whenever you update a certificate key store. See

7.2.3 Configuring the Introductions Class

The Introduction class determines whether the user can select an identity provider to trust when the
Identity Server is acting as a service provider. The default behavior is for introductions to happen
automatically, thus allowing single sign-on. The Identity Server passively checks with the identity
providers, one at time, to see if they can authenticate the service provider. If the identity provider
can authenticate the user and the Introductions class is enabled, the user is presented with one or
more cards that look similar to the following:
The small check mark indicates to the user that this is a possible card. When the user mouses over
the card, the description appears. If the user selects one of these cards, the user is automatically
authenticated.

1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Server > Servers > Edit > Local >
Classes > Introductions.
