Description:

The following are steps to configure Visualizer over SSL. This is specific to CMDB r11.2. Additionally please contact CMDB support for obtaining a test fix.

Solution:

1. Create a security certificate issuing the following command:
   
   D:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\*\jre\bin>
   Keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore D:\CA\CMDBKeystore
   
   Enter keystore password: changeit
   What is your first and last name?
   [Unknown]: 10.8.0.244 (servername)
   What is the name of your organizational unit?
   [Unknown]: ITS
   What is the name of your organization?
   [Unknown]: State of North Carolina
   What is the name of your City or Locality?
   [Unknown]: Raleigh
   What is the name of your State or Province?
   [Unknown]: North Carolina
   What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
   [Unknown]: US
   Is CN=10.8.0.244, OU=ITS, O=State of North Carolina, L=Raleigh, ST=NC
   laware, C=US correct?
   [no]: yes
   
   Enter key password for <tomcat>
   (RETURN if same as keystore password): xxxxxxxxx
   
   
2. Export the Security Certificate
   
   D:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\Unicenter Management Portal\jre\bin>
   Keytool -export -alias tomcat -file D:\CA\CMDBcert -keystore D:\CA\CMDBKeystore
   Enter keystore password: changeit
   Certificate stored in file <D:\CA\CMDBcert>
   
   Delete cacerts file from D:\Program~1\CA\SharedComponents\Unicent~1\jre\lib\security\cacerts
   
   
3. Import the Security Certificates
   
   D:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\Unicenter Management Portal\jre\bin>
   Keytool -import -alias tomcat -trustcacerts -file D:\CA\CMDBcert -keystore D:\Program~1\CA\
   SharedComponents\Unicent~1\jre\lib\security\cacerts
   Enter keystore password: changeit
   Owner: CN=nocportaltest.ITS.state.NC.us, OU=ITS, O=State of North Carolina, L=Raleigh, S
   T=North Carolina, C=US
   Issuer: CN=nocportaltest.ITS.state.NC.us, OU=ITS, O=State of North Carolina, L=Raleigh,
   ST=North Carolina, C=US
   Serial number: 47878c70
   Valid from: Fri Jan 11 10:34:08 EST 2008 until: Thu Apr 10 11:34:08 EDT 2008
   Certificate fingerprints:
   MD5: 94:E7:2A:6D:10:5D:92:F2:56:EB:BF:84:6E:D1:4D:B0
   SHA1: 45:99:7A:EC:50:C2:33:C4:42:95:52:69:F0:51:59:3E:E0:CF:BA:36
   Trust this certificate? [no]: yes
   Certificate was added to keystore
   
   copy cacerts to all JRE\*\lib\security folders
   
   if you need to redo you must first delete old keystore with keytool -delete -keystore c:\keystore this will ask which alias.
   
   
4. Shutdown the CMDB/Visualizer
   
   WARNING: You must make the Keystore password and Tomcat password the same.
   
   Visualizer tomcat

   C:\Program Files\CA\Shared Components\Tomcat\5.5.12\conf\server.xml    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->    <Connector port="9443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"           maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"           enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"           acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"           clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"            keystoreFile=" D:\CA\CMDBKeystore"            keystorePass="changeit"/>
