Post-Installation Tasks, Enabling SSL for the Policy Server

Page 17 highlights

5 Post-Installation Tasks To complete the HP 3PAR Policy Server installation, you must take additional steps before the Policy Server can be used by a Service Processor. The following tasks must be completed before you configure a Service Processor to use this Policy Server: • Enable SSL for the Policy Server. • Update the Policy Server policies. Enabling SSL for the Policy Server The Service Processor (SP) communicates with the HP 3PAR Policy Server over SSL. In order to do this, the Policy Server must be configured to have an SSL certificate. The following section describes how to use a self-signed certificate to configure the Policy Server for SSL. You can also use an existing certificate infrastructure (such as VeriSign or Microsoft Certificate Services). For more information about how to do this, see "Configuring the Policy Sever for SSL by Using an Existing Certificate Infrastructure " (page 30). Configuring the Policy Sever for SSL by Using a Self-Signed Certificate A self-signed certificate can be created by using the keytool command that is included with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). To do this, follow these steps: 1. On the Windows server that is running Policy Server, open a command prompt. 2. Create the directory in which to store the keystore file (this is the same path you entered when you installed the Policy Server): C:\>mkdir c:\hp-3par 3. Change to the directory where the keytool command exists: C:\> cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HP 3PAR\PolicyServer\jre\bin 4. Execute the keytool -genkey command using the keystore file and password entered during the Policy Server installation: C:\Program Files (x86)\HP 3PAR\PolicyServer\jre\bin>keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 1048 -keystore c:\hp-3par\keystore-ps Enter keystore password: Re-enter new password: What is your first and last name?

Enabling SSL for the Policy Server
The Service Processor (SP) communicates with the HP 3PAR Policy Server over SSL. In order to do
this, the Policy Server must be configured to have an SSL certificate.
The following section describes how to use a self-signed certificate to configure the Policy Server
for SSL. You can also use an existing certificate infrastructure (such as VeriSign or Microsoft
Certificate Services). For more information about how to do this, see
“Configuring the Policy Sever
for SSL by Using an Existing Certificate Infrastructure ” (page 30)
.
Configuring the Policy Sever for SSL by Using a Self-Signed Certificate
A self-signed certificate can be created by using the
keytool
command that is included with the
Java Runtime Environment (JRE). To do this, follow these steps:
1.
On the Windows server that is running Policy Server, open a command prompt.
2.
Create the directory in which to store the keystore file (this is the same path you entered when
you installed the Policy Server):
C:\>mkdir c:\hp-3par
3.
Change to the directory where the keytool command exists:
C:\> cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HP 3PAR\PolicyServer\jre\bin
4.
Execute the
keytool
genkey
command using the keystore file and password entered
during the Policy Server installation:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HP 3PAR\PolicyServer\jre\bin>keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA
-alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 1048 -keystore c:\hp-3par\keystore-ps
Enter keystore password:
Re-enter new password:
