Setting SP signing certificate for SAML authentication

The cot.jks file that contains the service provider (SP) certificate is not provided out-of-the-box. You must create the cot.js file, set the SP certificate and configure the information through the Remedy Single Sign-On Admin Console by performing the following steps:

  1. Create a keystore file containing a keypair for SAML SP signing request. You can use the following command to create a keystore file:

    keytool -keystore <keystorefile> -genkey -alias <aliasname> -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 2048  -validity 730
    
    #For example, 
    
    #keytool -keystore cot.jks -genkey -alias sp-signing -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 2048 -validity 730
    
    #The above command creates a keystore file named cot.jks that contains a keypair with the alias as sp-signing.
  2. Place the keystore file on each Remedy SSO server node in the cluster with the same file path.
  3. Log in to the Remedy SSO Admin Console.
  4. Click General.
  5. On the left navigation panel, click the Advanced tab and enter the following advanced details.

    FieldDescription
