Configuring the TrueSight Environment for the BMC Helix CMDB integration
As a TrueSight Operations Management administrator, do the following:
- Import certificates into the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server.
- Configure the Helix Client Gateway.
- Configure the BMC Helix Change Management integration in TrueSight Infrastructure Management.
- Verify the integration.
This section explains each procedure in detail.
Step 1: Importing certificates into the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server
Do the following:
Obtain the certificates from the Helix Network team or use the following URL to download them:
https://testssl.onbmc.com/
The following certificates are required:Name: digicert_global_root.cer
Alias: rootCAName: digicert_sha_256.cer
Alias: intermediateCAName: onbmc_wildcard.cer
Alias: onbmc_wildcardCAKeystore location
The
cacerts
keystore is located at <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/lib/security.The
pnserver.ks
keystore is located at <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/pronto/conf.
- For TrueSight Operations Management version 11.3.02 or later, do the following to install the certificates in the TrueSight Operations Management keystore/truststore.
- On the TrueSight Presentation Server run the following command:
pw certificate import BSR
Enter the BMC Service Resolution server details <
host:port
> to download the certificates.
The port number is optional. If you do not enter the port number, the default port 443 is used.
- On the TrueSight Presentation Server run the following command:
For TrueSight Operations Management version 11.3.01 or earlier, do the following to install the certificates in the TrueSight Operations Management keystore/truststore.
On the computer where the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server is installed, back up the following files:
- <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/bin/lib/security/cacerts
- <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/bin/pw/pronto/conf/pnserver.ks
- Run the following commands in the order shown below:
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias rootCA -file digicert_global_root.cer
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias intermediateCA -file digicert_sha_256.cer
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias onbmc_wildcard -file onbmc_wildcard.cer
Back up the <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/pronto/conf/messagebroker.ts file.
Run the following commands in the order shown below:
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias rootCA -file digicert_global_root.cer
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias intermediateCA -file digicert_sha_256.cer
keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias onbmc_wildcard -file onbmc_wildcard.cer
- Restart the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server.
Step 2: Configuring the BMC Helix client gateway
- Install the Helix client gateway. For information, see the BMC Helix documentation .
- Back up the <gateway installed location>\<gateway_name>\kwic-5.9.13\conf\kwic_config.xml file.
Copy the kwic_config.xml file to the proper location that you obtain from the BMC Helix network team.
- Restart the BMC Helix client gateway.
Step 3: Configure the BMC Helix CMDB integration TrueSight Operations Management
Step 4: Verifying the integration
- Log in to the BMC Helix MidTier Server as the user given to you by the BMC Helix team.
- Go to Atrium Core > Atrium Core console.
- Execute the Impact module designer.
- Create a test model in the Impact module designer.
- Verify that the test model is published in the TrueSight Infrastructure Management.
