Connecting Two Deployments Using a Common RootCA Certificate

There are multiple approaches which you implement for applying certificates when working across different source and target deployments. This quickstart demonstrates how to set up and apply certificates when using a common RootCA certificate on the source and target deployment.

Here is an outline of the process that's followed for configuring certificates when using a common rootCA certificate:

1. Create and add client, server, and rootCA certificates to the source and target deployment. Ensure that the same rootCA certificate is available on both source and target deployments.

2. Create a user on the target deployment with Operator role and user Type set to Password. Add credentials for this user to the source deployment to allow connection between source and target deployment where the target authentication method is the password of the created user.

As shown in the following diagram, secure source and target deployments have client and server certificates and a common rootCA certificate.
