On the Agent server create the keystore using the keytool from your Java JRE or JDK. Alternatively import a private key and certificate that you received from your certificate authority:

For use with a third party utility create a keystore, e.g. https-keystore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
- the Agent private key and certificate for Server Authentication
- the Root CA certificate
- Intermediate CA certificate(s)

For use with keytool create the keystore with the private key and certificate for Server Authentication from the command line. The examples below show one possible approach for certificate management. However, there are other ways to achieve similar results.

Example for creating a private key and CA-signed certificate with a PKCS12 keystore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example how to create and add a private key and CA-signed certificate to a PKCS12 keystore

# should your Agent's private key and certificate be provided with a .jks keystore (keypair.jks) then temporarily convert the keystore to pkcs12 (keystore.p12)
#   for later use with openssl, assuming the alias name of the Agent private key is "agent-https.example.com"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keypair.jks -srcstoretype JKS -destkeystore keystore.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12 -srcalias agent-https.example.com

# assuming your Agent's private key is from a pkcs12 keystore (keystore.p12), store the Agent's private key in a .key file in PEM format (agent-https.key)
openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nocerts -out agent-https.key

# concatenate the CA root certificate and the CA intermediate certificate to a single CA Bundle certificate file (ca-bundle.crt)
cat RootCACertificate.crt > ca-bundle.crt
cat CACertificate.crt >> ca-bundle.crt

# Export the Agent's private key (agent-https.key), Agent's certificate (agent-https.crt) and CA Bundle (ca-bundle.crt) in PEM format to a new keystore (https-keystore.p12)
#   assume the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Agent server is agent.example.com
openssl pkcs12 -export -in agent-https.crt -inkey agent-https.key -chain -CAfile ca-bundle.crt -name agent.example.com -out JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.p12

# should you require use of a .jks keystore type then convert the pkcs12 keystore assuming the alias name of the Agent's private key is "agent-https.example.com"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore agent-https.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.jks -deststoretype JKS -srcalias agent.example.com

Example for creating a private key and self-signed certificate with a PKCS12 keystore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example how to generate a private key and self-signed certificate for import into a PKCS12 keystore
collapse	true

# generate the Agent's private key with alias name "agent.example.com" and certificate in a keystore (https-keystore.p12)
#   use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) assumed to be agent.example.com and name of your organization for the distinguished name
keytool -genkey -alias "agent.example.com" -dname "CN=agent.example.com,O=organization" -validity 1461 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keypass jobscheduler -keystore "JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.p12" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype PKCS12

Example for creating a private key and self-signed certificate with JKS keystore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example how to generate a private key and self-signed certificate for import into a JKS keystore
collapse	true

# generate Agent's private key with alias name "agent.example.com" and certificate in a keystore (https-keystore.jks)
#   use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) assumed to be agent.example.com and name of your organization for the distinguished name
keytool -genkey -alias "agent.example.com" -dname "CN=agent.example.com,O=organization" -validity 1461 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keypass jobscheduler -keystore "JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.jks" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype JKS

Explanation:
- The -dname option specifies the certificate issuer, therefore use your own set of CN, O, OU, DC that specify the issuer's Distinguished Name. The O setting is required for the issuer.
- The -keypass option accepts the password that you will need later on to manage your private key.
- The -keystore option specifies the location of the keystore file. The keystore file should be in reach of the Agent, it is recommended that you use the sub-folder private in the JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR directory.
- The -storepass option specifies the password for access to the keystore file.
- The -storetype option is used to specify the PKCS12 or JKS keystore format.

With the keystore set up specify the relevant properties with the JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/private.conf configuration file:

Example

Code Block

language	text
title	Example for private.conf file specifying the Agent keystore

js7 {
    web {
        # keystore and truststore locations for https connections
        https {
            keystore {
                # Default: ${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-keystore.p12"
                file=${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-keystore.p12"
                key-password="jobscheduler"
                store-password="jobscheduler"
            }
        }
    }
}

Explanation:

js7.web.https.keystore.file is used for the path to the keystore.
js7.web.https.keystore.key-password is used for access to the private key.
js7.web.https.keystore.store-password is used for access to the keystore

...

On the Controller server create the truststore using the keytool from your Java JRE or JDK or a third party utility.

For use with a third party utility create a truststore, e.g. https-truststore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
- the Root CA certificate

For use with keytool create the truststore in PKCS12 or JKS format with the Root CA certificate. The examples below show one possible approach for certificate management. However, there are other ways to achieve similar results.

Example for importing a Root CA certificate to a PKCS12 truststore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example how to import a CA-signed certificate into a PKCS12 Truststore

# import Root CA certificate in PEM format to a PKCS12 truststore (https-truststore.p12)
keytool -importcert -alias "root-ca" -file "RootCACertificate.crt" -keystore "JS7_CONTROLLER_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-truststore.p12" -storetype PKCS12

Example for use of a self-signed Agent certificate with a PKCS12 truststore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example for import of a self-signed Agent certificate to Controller PKCS12 Truststore
collapse	true

# on Agent server: export Agent's certificate from keystore (https-keystore.p12) identified by its alias name (agent.example.com) to a file in PEM format (agent-https.crt)
keytool -exportcert -rfc -noprompt -file "agent-https.crt" -alias "agent.example.com" -keystore "JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.p12" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype PKCS12

# on Controller server: import the Agent's certificate from a file in PEM format (agent-https.crt) identified by its alias name (agent.example.com) to the Controller's PKCS12 truststore (https-truststore.p12)
keytool -importcert -noprompt -file "agent-https.crt" -alias "agent.example.com" -keystore "JS7_CONTROLLER_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-truststore.p12" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype PKCS12 -trustcacerts

Example for use of a self-signed Agent certificate with a JKS truststore:

Code Block

language	bash
title	Example for import of a self-signed Agent certificate to Controller JKS Truststore
collapse	true

# on Agent server: export Agent's certificate from keystore (https-keystore.jks) identified by its alias name (agent.example.com) to a file in PEM format (agent-https.crt)
keytool -exportcert -rfc -noprompt -file "agent-https.crt" -alias "agent.example.com" -keystore "JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-keystore.jks" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype JKS

# import the Agent's certificate from a file in PEM format (agent-https.crt) identified by its alias name (agent-https.example.com) to the Controller's JKS truststore (https-truststore.jks)
keytool -importcert -noprompt -file "agent-https.crt" -alias "agent.example.com" -keystore "JS7_CONTROLLER_CONFIG_DIR/private/https-truststore.jks" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype JKS -trustcacerts

On the Controller server specify the location of the truststore with the JS7_CONTROLLER_CONFIG_DIR/private/private.conf configuration file:

Example

Code Block

language	text
title	Example for private.conf file specifying the Controller truststore

js7 {
    web {
        # keystore and truststore locations for https connections
        https {
            truststores=[
                {
                    # Default: ${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-truststore.p12"
                    file=${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-truststore.p12"
                    store-password=jobscheduler
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Explanation:

js7.web.https.truststores.file is used for the path to the truststore.
js7.web.https.truststores.store-password is used for access to the truststore.
