Question

How do you configure HTTPS? (SCI72073)

Cause

Answer

Configuring HTTPS for Control Center



(Assumption: CCEngine and CCGUI are on two separate boxes, so save CCEngine files in a different location than CCGUI files if you're on the same machine - I used C:\CCEngine and C:\CCGUI)




Step 1:
Control Center Engine
 Cert Wizard
  Self-Signed Certificate (trust root cert)
   (privkey.txt & CCEnginecert.crt)
  Key Certificate - JKS format - (which builds the keystore
   (..\conf\security\CCenter.keystore/changeit)
  Give CCEnginecert.crt to CCGUI administrator



Step 2:
Control Center GUI
 Cert Wizard
  Create self-signed cert (trusted root cert) (CCGUIcert.crt & privkey.txt)
  Create key cert - JKS format - (GUIkeystore.jks/changeit)
  Give CCGUIcert.crt to CCGUI administrator



Step 3:
Control Center Engine
 Cert Wizard
  Get CCGUIcert.crt from CCGUI administrator
  Import to trust store - import trusted root cert
   (CCGUIcert.crt) into the
   trust store installed with CC jre (..\jre\lib\security\cacerts)
 Restart engine



Step 4:
Control Center GUI
 Cert Wizard
  Get CCEnginecert.crt from CCGUI administrator
  Import to trust store - import trusted root cert (CCEnginecert.crt) into
   a trust store (trust.store/changeit)



Step 5:
On Control Center GUI sign on screen
 Click Config button
  Keystore - GUIkeystore.jks/changeit
  Trust Store - trust.store/changeit
 Click HTTPS button and change port to HTTPS port
