Specifying a trust store password

This topic describes how to specify a trust store password on any of the server components. You can specify the password as plain text, or you can specify a text string that you encrypted in the Maintenance Tool.

To specify the trust store password as plain text on a server component

1. Stop the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
2. On the computer for the server component, use a text editor to open the AO_Home\tomcat\conf\server.xml file.

3. Locate the <Connector> element that contains the HTTPS protocol information, as shown in the following sample:

   <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
                  maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
                  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
4. Append the following attribute to the connector element.

5. Specify the trust store file location and the <password>:
   truststoreFile="AO_Home\jvm\lib\security\cacerts"
   truststorePass="<password>"
   
   In the following example, myPassw0rd is the new trust store password:

   <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
                  maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
                  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" truststoreFile="C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CDP\jvm\lib\security\cacerts" truststorePass="myPassw0rd" />
   
6. Save the server.xml file.
7. Restart the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
   
   For additional information about the Apache Tomcat Servlet/JSP Container SSL Configuration, see documentation available at http://tomcat.apache.org/.

To specify an encrypted trust store password on a server component

1. Start the Maintenance Tool, as described in Using-the-Maintenance-Tool-to-encrypt-a-password.
2. Stop the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
3. Using the Maintenance Tool, encrypt a password text string, as described in Using-the-Maintenance-Tool-to-encrypt-a-password.
4. On the computer for the server component, use a text editor to open the AO_Home\tomcat\conf\server.xml file.

5. Locate the <Connector> element that contains the HTTPS protocol information, as shown in the following sample:

   <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
                  maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
                  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
   

6. After copying the encrypted password from the Maintenance Tool, append the following property to the connector attribute, replacing <encrypted-password> with the copied value:

              SSLImplementation="com.bmc.ao.catalina.connector.BAOSSLImplementation"
              truststoreFile="AO_Home\jvm\lib\security\cacerts"
              truststorePass="<encrypted-password>"/>

   The file should now appear similar to the example below:

   <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
              maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
              clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
              SSLImplementation="com.bmc.ao.catalina.connector.BAOSSLImplementation"
              truststoreFile="C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CDP\jvm\lib\security\cacerts"
              truststorePass="b84f2299ca25a8040b2d022b56716490"/>
7. Save the server.xml file.
8. Restart the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
