Linux: Generating the SAM Tomcat server keystore file and certificate

Create the Tomcat server keystore file and certificate.

Prerequisites

Generate the keystore file in the home directory where you issue the command.

Procedure

• ♦ Issue the command to generate the keystore file. For example, run this command for the SAM host if it has a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN):

  /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/jre/bin/keytool -storetype JKS -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA

  To specify a different location or filename, add the -keystore parameter followed by the complete pathname to the keystore file. For example,

  /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/jre/bin/keytool -storetype JKS -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA 
  -keystore /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/.keystore

  1. Enter changeit for the keystore password.
  2. When asked for your first and last name, enter the fully qualified name of the machine, for example, itops-dev-204.lss.emc.com.
  3. Answer the other questions and type yes when asked for confirmation.
  If you are using an IP address naming convention for the configuration, run this command and specify the IP address of the SAM host for < ip:y.y.y.y>.

  /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/jre/bin/keytool -storetype JKS -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -ext SAN=<ip:y.y.y.y> -keystore /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/.keystore

Results

This creates a keystore file inside /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts folder with name .keystore.
