6 Enabling SSL for HTTPS

Install an SSL certificate in the OMU web service keystore. You must either install a self-signed certificate or install a certificate obtained from a Certificate Authority (CA).

• To install a self-signed certificate, perform the steps specified in Installing a Self-Signed Certificate.

• To install a certificate from a CA, perform the steps specified in Installing a Certificate from a Certificate Authority.

Import the SSL certificate from the OMU web service keystore into the Enterprise Manager keystore as specified in Importing the Web Service Certificate into Enterprise Manager.

Open a command prompt window and change the working directory to the adapters/conf directory in the OMU web service installation directory.

Enter the following command to delete the default SSL entry from the OMU web service keystore.

• Unix

  $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -delete -alias iwave -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
  

• Windows

  "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -delete -alias iwave -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
  

Enter the following command to generate a new certificate and place it in the OMU web service keystore. You will need to replace <hostname> with the host name or IP address of the system where the OMU web service is installed.

• Unix

  $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias iwave -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -dname "CN=<hostname>, OU=Development, O=iWave Software, L=Frisco, ST=TX, C=US" -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
  

• Windows

  "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -genkey -alias iwave -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -dname "CN=<hostname>, OU=Development, O=iWave Software, L=Frisco, ST=TX, C=US" -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
  

Request a certificate for the OMU web service from a Certificate Authority, such as VeriSign.

After you obtain the certificate from the Certificate Authority, perform the following steps to install the certificate:

1. Open a command prompt window and change the working directory to the adapters/conf directory in the OMU web service installation directory.

2. Enter the following command to install the certificate, where <certificateFile> is the full path name of the file provided by the Certificate Authority:

   • Unix:

     $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -importcert -alias iwave -file <certificateFile> -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
     

   • Windows:

     "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -importcert -alias iwave -file <certificateFile> -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
     

Open a command prompt window and change the working directory to the adapters/conf directory in the OMU web service installation directory.

Issue the following command to extract the SSL certificate from the OMU web service keystore and place it in the OMUws.cer certificate file:

• Unix platforms

  $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -exportcert -rfc -alias iwave -file OMUws.cer -keystore keystore.jks -storepass iwavepw
  

• Windows platforms

  "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -exportcert -rfc -alias iwave -file OMUws.cer -keystore keystore.jks -storepass iwavepw
  

Transfer the certificate file OMUws.cer to the system where Enterprise Manager is installed.

Append the contents of the OMUws.cer file to:

$INSTANCE_HOME/sysman/config/b64LocalCertificate.txt

Ensure that only the following lines are appended to the b64LocalCertificate.txt file (that is, do not include blank lines, comments, or any other special characters):

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<<<Certificate in Base64 format>>>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Restart OMS by running the following commands:

emctl stop oms
emctl start oms
