Generating a Self-Signed SSL Certificate
FlexNet Code Insight 6.14.0
The following procedure creates both a self-signed SSL certificate (and its private key) and the keystore in which to store the certificate. Consult the Certificate Authority for any specific instructions.
To create a self-signed SSL certificate and store it in a keystore, do the following:
|
1.
|
From DOS or Linux, enter the following command: |
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -alias myKey -keypass password -keystore myKeystore.jks -storepass password -validity 3600 -keysize 2048
where you provide the following details specified to create the keystore that will store the certificate:
|
•
|
myKey—An alias for the private key you are creating. |
|
•
|
myKeystore—A file name for the keystore you are creating. |
|
•
|
password—A password used for both the private key and keystore. Enter this value for both ‑keypass and -storepass. |
|
2.
|
When prompted with “What is your first and last name?”, enter the fully qualified hostname for the server, such as myserver.mycompany.com. |
|
3.
|
Copy the keystore to the fnciInstallPath/tomcat directory. (It is configured in the server.xml file, as described in Enabling an HTTPS Connection.) |
