Chapter 3: Administration and setup
Inexperienced users could cause serious damage to the system. When a user
leaves the company, or otherwise should no longer have access to the root
account, the system administrator should change the root password.
Adding a self-signed SSL certificate
To add a self-signed SSL certificate, perform the following steps.
1. Log on to the virtual appliance by using the console or an SSH connection.
2. Enter the following command: sudo su - root.
3. Navigate to the java bin folder on the virtual appliance. This is generally
found in the /usr/java/jdkX/bin folder, where X represents the jdk version
number.
4. Enter the following command, where mykeystore is the name of your new
keystore and daysvalid is the number of days the certificate is valid:
./keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore
/etc/hyper9/mykeystore -validity daysvalid
Note: If you use the default keystore, hyper9-keystore, you do not need to
modify the server.xml file.
5. When prompted, enter a new keystore password. This information is
necessary for a later step.
6. Enter the information necessary for the new certificate. Provide the following
information:
l Your domain name instead of the first and last name
l The name of your organizational unit
l The name of your organization
l The name of your city or locality
l The name of your state or province
l Your two letter country code
