Replacing Certificates of the Store

The system encrypts the communication between the Store nodes with self-signed certificates generated during the installation.

Use the following procedure to replace these certificates.

  1. Make sure you have the following files in .pem format - use exactly the file names listed below:

    1. CA certificate - custom-es-ca-cert.pem - if there are several CA certificates (root CA and intermediate CAs) - the pem file should contain all certificates concatenated (one after the other).

    2. New Store certificate - dpod-es-server-cert.pem

    3. New Store certificate key - dpod-es-server-key.pem

  2. Stop all the application services using app-util.sh (In a Cell Environment, stop the cell manager as well as all the cell members).

  3. Configure DPOD (In a Cell Environment, configure the cell manager as well as all the cell members):

    1. Log in to DPOD's server using SSH.

    2. Create a new custom keys directory:

      mkdir -p /app/keys/store/custom
    3. Copy the pem files to this directory. i.e.:

      ls /app/keys/store/custom custom-es-ca-cert.pem dpod-es-server-cert.pem dpod-es-server-key.pem
    4. Create the CA certificate bundle:

      cat /app/keys/store/dpod-es-ca-cert.pem /app/keys/store/custom/custom-es-ca-cert.pem > /app/keys/store/custom/dpod-es-ca-cert.pem
    5. Deploy the files to the Store server nodes:

    6. Configure the Store server nodes with the new DN:

  4. Start all the application services using app-util.sh (In a Cell Environment, start the cell manager and all the cell members).
