Generating Certificates and Keys Using openssl
Before using the openssl executable provided with Oracle BI to generate certificates and keys, a directory structure must be set up as shown in the following procedure. To generate certificates and keys using openssl
- Create a directory where all the certificates will be located. For example, D:\ssl. This directory will be referred to as $DIR.
- Create the following folders under $DIR:
private newcerts demoCA
- Copy the openssl.exe and openssl.cnf file to $DIR.
NOTE: The openssl.exe and openssl.cnf files are located in the OracleBI_HOME\server\Bin directory and also in the OracleBI_HOME\web\bin directory.
- Create an empty file called .oid under $DIR\demoCA.
- Create an empty file called index.txt under $DIR.
- Create a file called serial under $DIR. In this file, input any number that has an even number of digits. For example, numbers such as 01 or 73 are valid entries, while the numbers 1 and 173 are not.
NOTE: The openssl executable commands outlined in the following procedures must be executed in the directory $DIR.
