Add a Textkernel Portal Signing Certificate

All Textkernel Search and Match setup procedures are available here.

Create a Signing Certificate

A Signing Certificate must be configured for each Org in a single-tenant environment (Production or SandboxClosed Non Production Environments are used by customers to test new features prior to them going live.), while all Orgs in the same environment can share the same Portal Account.

  1. Go to Setup > Security > Certificate and Key Management.
  2. Click the Create CA-Signed Certificate button.
  3. Fill all the required fields according to the help text provided for each field. The Key Size field value must be 2048.

    When creating the certificate, follow this required naming convention: TKPortal_[org id]_[year]. For example: TKPortal_11111111111_2020.

    A valid email address where the certificate expiration reminder will be sent has to be entered in the Email Address field. This email address needs to be monitored for these types of requests. When the certificate is about to expire, Bullhorn has to create a new certificate and submit a new signing request.

  4. Click Save to create a certificate, which will be referred to as the signing certificate.

See Portal Certificate Creation for more details about certificate creation.
