You can upgrade the security in your enterprise environment by using TLS 1.2 to communicate with TrueSight Infrastructure Management components. After the installation of TrueSight Infrastructure Management components, you can switch from the default inter-component security configuration to TLS 1.2 configuration.
Before you begin
Ensure to complete the certificate creation and import tasks for the relevant components before you configure TLS 1.2 between them. For more information about how to create and import private certificates, see Implementing-private-certificates-in-TrueSight-Operations-Management.
There are different communication channels established between the TrueSight Infrastructure Management components. Perform the TLS configurations per communication channel. Select the communication channel which you want to make TLS compliant and perform the tasks accordingly. The flowchart in the following diagram explains the complete TLS configuration workflow.
Step a: TSIM to TSPS communication
Step 1: To configure the Presentation Server Step 2: To configure the Infrastructure Management Server Step 3: To start the servers Step 4: To register the Infrastructure Management Server with the Presentation Server |
---|
Step 1: To configure the Presentation Server - Navigate to the <Presentation Server Install Directory>\truesightpserver\bin directory, and run the following command to check whether the TrueSight Presentation Server is running.
tssh server status - Ensure that the TrueSight Presentation Server is running before proceeding further.
- Log on to the TrueSight console and select Administration> Components.
Displays the components that are registered with the Presentation Server. Ensure that no TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server is registered with the TrueSight Presentation Server. If a TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server is registered, delete the same. - Set the property in the database by running the following commands:
tssh properties set tsps.cell.conntype ssl tssh properties set pronet.jms.conntype SSL - Using a text editor, open the mcell.dir file located in <Presentation Server Install Directory>\conf directory.
Comment out the instances of the code lines having the encryption key value as mc as shown below: #Type <name> encryption key <host>/<port> #gateway.gateway_subtype ts_event_gateway mc tsps_server1.bmc.com:1900 #cell pncell_tsim_server1 mc tsim_server1.bmc.com:1828 Set the encryption key value to *TLS as shown below: #Type <name> encryption key <host>/<port> gateway.gateway_subtype ts_event_gateway *TLS tsps_server1.bmc.com:1900 cell pncell_tsim_server1 *TLS tsim_server1.bmc.com:1828 Parameter description: tsps_server1 is the name of the computer where the TrueSight Presentation Server is installed. tsim_server1 is the name of TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server registered with the TrueSight Presentation Server. If there are multiple Infrastructure Management Server entries in the mcell.dir file, change the encryption key to *TLS for all such entries.
|
Step 2: To configure the Infrastructure Management Server - Navigate to the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\wildfly\store directory location.
- Open the ssl.activemq-rar.rar file and extract the amq-broker-config.xml file.
- Take a backup of the amq-broker-config.xml file.
- (Optional - If using a non-default JMS port) By default, the URI attribute of trasnsportConnector property is set to the port number 8093. If a different JMS port is configured, then update the property in the amq-broker-conf-xml file as shown in the following example:
 In the example, trasnsportConnector is set to 8093. - After the change, save the amq-broker-config.xml file and add it to the ssl.activemq-rar.rar file in the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\wildfly\store directory again.
- Navigate to the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\pronto\bin directory, and run the switchTLSMode.pl script as shown below:
#Syntax perl switchTLSMode.pl -<on/off> -flow <communication channel> -tsps <TrueSight Presentation Server name>
#Example perl switchTLSMode.pl -on -flow event_and_data -tsps myserver.bmc.com Parameter description:- -on/off: on option enables TLS mode of communication. off option disables TLS mode of communication and enables the default tcp/ssl mode of communication.
- -flow: If the flow is set to event_and_data, the communication between the Infrastructure Management Server and the Presentation Server is TLS 1.2 enabled.
- TrueSight Presentation Server name: This is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the computer where the Presentation Server is installed.
- -h: This is an optional parameter, it displays the help for the the switchTLSMode.pl command
|
Step 3: To start the servers - Start the Presentation Server by running the following command:
tssh server start - Start the Infrastructure Management Server by running the following command:
pw system start
|
Step 4: To register the Infrastructure Management Server with the Presentation Server - Ensure that all the processes of the Infrastructure Management Server are up by running the following command:
pw p 1 - Register the Infrastructure Management Server with the Presentation Server.
