RTC Update using own certificate


Dieter Springer (633) | asked Jun 05 '12, 3:25 a.m.
Hi
We want to use RTC with certificates from our own CA (openssl). Getting RTC to work with our certificate consumed a lot of time and we ended up in doing trial&error configuration. Everything worked fine at first, but applying the latest Update deleted the certificate somehow (Update via new installation, then jts_upgrade.sh and ccm_upgrade.sh). We were not able to run RTC with our certificate since then.
There is a lot of documentation online related to this topic, but most docs are websphere-related or otherwise adressing a special configuration. We use RTC with tomcat as shipped. As we just start using a CA our knowledge with certificates is still sparse.
So my question is, if there is a best-practice documentation on what to do to implement a certificate from your own CA and how to use it with RTC? The next question is how to upgrade such a config?

Hey Dieter,
Here is what I do

1) Create your own keystore, put your certificate in
2) update the server.xml to point to the keystore
3) when upgrading, the server.xml is copied in a location to be preserved - copy it back or merge the changes

Update if you want me to elaborate
