N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Installation Guide

ProcedureHow to Generate SSL Certificates

To enable the browser interface to use SSL, you must first generate an SSL Certificate.

Steps

  1. Change to the directory in which you installed the JRE.


    % cd JAVA-HOME/bin

    JAVA-HOME is the directory where you installed the JRE. If you installed the JRE with the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0, the JRE is installed in the N1SPS5.0-home/common/jre/bin directory.

  2. Generate the certificate.


    % keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /keystore-location
-storepass password

    Set /keystore-location to the location and filename where you want to store the generated key.

    Set password to whatever password that you choose.

  3. Follow the prompts to complete.

    Do not include any punctuation in the name of your organization, otherwise the Java Certificate tool fails when attempting to generate the request. The Common Name (CN) must be set to the fully qualified host name, including the domain name, component of the URI.
