To configure the Infrastructure Management Server

  1. Navigate to the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\wildfly\store directory location.
  2. Open the ssl.activemq-rar.rar file and extract the amq-broker-config.xml file.
  3. Take a backup of the amq-broker-config.xml file.
  4. (Optional - If using a non-default JMS port) By default, the URI attribute of transportConnector property is set to the port number 8093. If a different JMS port is configured, then update the property in the amq-broker-config.xml file as shown in the following example.

    Note

    In the example, transportConnector is set to port number 8096.

  5. 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.
  6. Navigate to the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\pronto\bin directory, and run the switchTLSMode.pl script as shown in the following code block:

    #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

    The following notes describe the key parameters used in the preceding command:

    • -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
