The User->Profile menu of JOC Cockpit offers user accounts that are assigned the administrator role the sub-tab CA Management. This sub-tab is available to users that are assigned the sos:products:joc:adminstration:manage role.

Explanation:

• Operations offered from this sub-tab include
  • to generate the Root CA private key and certificate and to self-sign the certificate,
  • to import and to update the private key and self-signed certificate in case that they are generated by an external certificate authority.
• Consider that updates to the Root CA private key and certificate require new private keys and certificates for Controller instances and Agents to be created.
  • Existing private keys and certificates remain in place with Controllers and Agents, they continue to work but cannot be verified by a user.
  • It is therefore recommended to create and to roll-out new private keys and certificates within a foreseeable time.
• JOC Cockpit supports ECDSA key algorithms only as RSA key algorithms are not considered secure for the future.
