Introduction
For JS7 - Automated Deployment use of a Deployment Area is recommended.
The Deployment Area is used for the following purposes:
- to hold the script environment for JS7 - Automated Installation and Update and the JS7 - Deployment Packaging,
- to hold the configuration files and certificates for deployment of JS7 components,
- to hold the JS7 installations per JS7 release and component such as JOC Cockpit, Controller, Agent,
- to hold the archive of deployment packages per JS7 releases and target machine,
- to operate a JS7 Agent that is used to perform the JS7 - Deployment Workflow.
Creating the Root Certificate Authority
Connections between the JS7 JOC Cockpit, Controller and Agents can be secured by TLS/SSL certificates used for HTTPS connections.
Users who do not wish to use HTTPS connections or who are provided certificates from their organization can skip this step.
Creating the Root CA Certificate
A Root CA Certificate is created and is later on used to create self-signed certificates
The script is included with the ca
directory and is executed without arguments.
./ca/create_root_ca.sh
Explanation:
- When the script is executed it prompts for a number of options. Find more details about use of the script with the JS7 - How to create self-signed Certificates article.
- The following files will be created:
./ca/private/root-ca.key
: This file holds the Root CA private key../ca/certs/root-ca.crt
: This file holds the Root CA Certificate.
