Question & Answer
Question
After I changed the hostname of the TBSM and Impact server, I wanted to change or ensure that the CN mentioned as the issuer of the TBSM ImpactUI root certificate is also changed. Please advise the required steps.
An example of the issuer of root certificate is:
CN=IMPACTserver, O=IBM, OU=ImpactUI, C=US
Answer
When you change the hostname on the Impact/TBSM server, you should run the "nci_changehost" command.
The "nci_changehost" will change the hostname in the key files, that is in the files:
/opt/IBM/tivoli/impact/wlp/usr/servers/ImpactUI/resources/security/key.jks
/opt/IBM/tivoli/impact/wlp/usr/servers/TBSM/resources/security/key.jks
You can examine this, by looking into the key.jks files, run the below command to check:
/opt/IBM/tivoli/impact/sdk/jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore key.jks -v -storepass {impactadmin_password}
whether the new hostname is already in the key files.
If the new hostname is not in the key files, you may do:
- delete the key.jks file
- recreate the key.jks file, by Generating certificate
- you may refer to /opt/IBM/tivoli/impact/install/tools/change_hostport.xml file, for details of arguments to the keytool command
From Jazz admin console, you may delete the cert that you like to delete from the NodeDefaultTrustStore.
Then Retrieve from port in NodeDefaultTrustStore signer certificate. You can refer to: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSPFK_6.2.0/com.ibm.tivoli.itbsm.doc/installguide/bsma_secc_con_certificate.html
(1) From JAZZ, in SSL certificate setting; obtain from port in NodeDefaultTrustStore signer certificate.
(2) After it is obtained, delete the old NodeDefaultTrustStore signer certificate
