Obtaining the token signing certificate for authenticating Pega Robot Manager users

Updated on January 31, 2022

Obtain the token-signing certificate that contains cryptographic private and public keys that digitally sign a security token when authenticating Pega Robot Manager users through OAuth 2.0 with SAML bearer.

Follow these steps to obtain the token-signing certificate from Pega Robotic Automation Security Token Services.

Design Patterns: You can use other STS services to generate token-signing certificate that includes the Client Secret and Client ID, for example, Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). For more information, see the Configuring AD FS and Pega Robot Manager for single sign-on design pattern on Pega Community Wiki.

You can skip these steps if your client already provides the token-signing certificate with a public key in the form of a keystore.

Tip: If your certificate is not a keystore, you can transform a .cer file into a keystore by using the command line. For example, you can use a command that is similar to the following one: keytool -importcert -file "fed-TokenSigning-2022-PEM.cer" -keystore fed-ADFS-2022.jks -alias "fed-ADFS-2022"
  1. Start the Pega Robotic Automation Security Token Service Configuration Console.
  2. Expand the Service Configuration list and select Token Signing.
  3. In the STS Token Signing Certificate field, select the certificate that you want to export.
  4. Click Export Public Cert to export the certificate.
    See the following figure for reference:

    You must export the token signing certificate for authenticating Pega Robot Manager users.
  5. Save the certificate as a Java KeyStore (JKS) or Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS12) file and include a password.
What to do next: Upload the token-signing certificate to Pega Platform and configure the OAuth security settings in Pega Robot Manager.
