Issue/Introduction

If we convert NFA or Spectrum to HTTPS, what effect will it have on integration with Performance Center?

Environment

Release : 20.2

Release : 21.2

Component : CA Performance Center

Resolution

If a Data Source is using HTTPS and Performance Center does not have the certificate/chain of trust of the Data Source the integration will fail due to being unable to communicate.

When a Data Source is configured for HTTPS, for Performance Center to communicate with it Performance Center needs the Data Source's certificate/chain of trust imported into its cacerts keystore that is by default, located:

/opt/CA/jre/lib/security/cacerts

An example import command would be:

/opt/CA/jre/bin/keytool -import -keystore /ope/CA/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -alias SPECTRUM_CERT -file spectrum_cert.cer
