Importing certificates into BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform components after upgrade

The imports described on this page are only needed if the certificates being used are not issued by a certificate authority that is already trusted

Importing BMC Atrium Single Sign-On certificate files to the repository truststore

After upgrading BMC Atrium Orchestrator platform repository 7.6.x to 7.7.02, you need to add the BMC Atrium Single Sign-On certificates to the repository truststore (Located at %REPO_HOME%/jvm/lib/security/cacerts).

Before you perform the following steps, ensure that you copy the certificates from BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, and place them in your environment. Whether to import root, intermediate, and host certificates varies based upon the provider.  

To import the certificates

1. Run the following command to import the root certificate.

   %REPO_HOME%/jvm/bin>keytool -importcert -alias myrootcertificate-certificate-provider -trustcacerts -file %root_certificate_location%/root-certificate -keystore %trust_store_location%/trutstore

2. Run the following command to import the intermediate certificate.

   %REPO_HOME%/jvm/bin>keytool -importcert -alias myintermdiate-certificate-provider  -trustcacerts -file %intermediate_certificate_location%/intermediate-certificate -keystore %trust_store_location%/trutstore

3. Run the following command to add or import the host certificate.

   %REPO_HOME%/jvm/bin>keytool -importcert -alias myhostcertificate-certificate-provider  -trustcacerts -file %host_certificate_location%/host-certificate -keystore %trust_store_location%/trutstore

   Note

   If you have different certificates for individual host components such as BMC Atrium Single Sign-On or the repository, then you need to add the host certificate to the truststore file.

Importing repository certificate files after upgrading CDP

After you upgrade CDP from 7.6.x to 7.7.02, the root certificate gets copied from the repository cacerts file to jssecacerts (located at %CDP_HOME%/jvm/lib/security/jssecacerts) file.

1. To verify that entry in jssecacerts file is created, run the following command.

   %CDP_HOME%/jvm/bin>keytool -list -v keystore ../lib/security/jssecacerts > %outputfile_location%/test.txt

    

2. When you open the test.txt file an entry for root certificate in the jssecacerts file is visible.
   You can manually import intermediate certificate into jssecacerts file by using the same command as described in Adding certificate files while upgrading the repository.

Importing certificate files after upgrading other peers

The HTTPS certificate for each of the servers listed needs to be copied to the trust store (cacerts and jssecacerts) of each of the paired clients. The following table lists the BMC Atrium Orchestrator client/server communication relationships for each type of component.
