Configuring the Infrastructure Management Server to BMC Impact Integration Web Services communication to enable TLS 1.2
Perform the following steps to enable the Infrastructure Management Server to BMC Impact Integration Web Services (IIWS) communication to be TLS compliant:
- Step 1: To configure the Infrastructure Management Server
- Step 2: To configure the BMC Impact Integration Web Services server
- Step 3: To start the servers
To configure the Infrastructure Management Server
Stop the Infrastructure Management Server by running the following command:
pw system stop
Using a text editor, open the mcell.dir located in the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\server\etc directory.
Comment out the instance of the code line having encryption key value as mc as shown in the following code block:
#gateway.imcomm IIWSGatewayServer mc IIWSGatewayServer.bmc.com:1859
Set the encryption key value to
*TLS
as shown in the following code block:gateway.imcomm IIWSGatewayServer *TLS IIWSGatewayServer.bmc.com:1859
Note
IIWSGatewayServer is the name of the host computer where the BMC Impact Integration Web Services is installed.
Save and close the file.
To configure the BMC Impact Integration Web Services server
Navigate to the <Impact Web Services installation directory>\tomcat\webapps\imws\WEB-INF\etc directory by running the following command:
# Microsoft Windows operating system $cd <Impact Web Services installation directory>\tomcat\webapps\imws\WEB-INF\etc # Unix operating system $cd <Impact Web Services installation directory>/tomcat/webapps/imws/WEB-INF/etc
- Using a text editor, open the mcell.dir file.
Comment out the instances of the code lines having encryption key value as mc as shown in the following code block:
#type Name encryption key <Host>:1828 #gateway.imcomm IIWSGatewayServer mc localhost:1859 #cell pncell_tsim_server mc tsim_server.bmc.com:1828
Set the encryption key value to *TLS as shown in the following code block:
#syntax #type Name encryption key <Host>:1828 gateway.imcomm IIWSGatewayServer *TLS localhost:1859 cell pncell_tsim_server *TLS tsim_server.bmc.com:1828
Parameter description
The following notes describe the key parameters used in the preceding command:
- Replace the localhost by the computer name where the IIWS server is installed.
- tsim_server is the name of the host computer where the Infrastructure Management Server is installed.
To start the servers
Start the Infrastructure Management Server by running the following command:
pw system start
Restart the IIWS server by running the following commands:
From the desktop or Start menu, navigate to Services.
To stop the server, select the BMC Impact Integration Web Services service, and right-click to open the menu. The service name is BMCIWS, and the display name is Impact Integration Web Service.
To stop the application server, select Stop.
