Installing SSL Certificate

• Introduction

• Steps to install SSL in SupportCenter Plus

• Install a .P7b Certificate

• Commands to install certificate of some common vendors

Introduction

SupportCenter Plus can run as a HTTPS service. But it requires a SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
Certificate signed by a valid Certificate Authority (CA).

By default, on first time start-up, it creates a self-signed certificate. This self-signed certificate will not
be trusted by the user browsers. Thus, while connecting to SupportCenter Plus, you need to manually
verify the certificate information and the hostname of SupportCenter Plus server carefully and should
force the browser to accept the certificate.

To make SupportCenter Plus server identify itself correctly to the web browser and the user, you need
to obtain a new signed certificate from a CA for the SupportCenter Plus host. You can use keytool
(bundled with Java) to create your certificates, get them signed by a CA and use them with
SupportCenter Plus.

Steps to install SSL in SupportCenter Plus

The steps involved in configuring SupportCenter Plus to use the SSL are as given below.

Step 1: Create a Keystore file


Step 2: Create .CSR (Certificate Signing Request) file
Step 3: Install your SSL Certificate
Step 4: Configuring the Server

NOTE: In all the images, replace the highlighted text with the alias name you want to use for the
SupportCenter Plus.

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

40
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

Step 1: Create a Keystore file

Before requesting for a certificate from a CA, you need to create tomcat specific ".keystore" file and
".csr" file. The .keystore file and .csr file will include information provided by the individual who
creates the .keystore and .csr files.

To create the .keystore file follow the below steps,


1. Open the Command Prompt.
2. From the location <installation directory> \ jre \ bin execute the command

keytool -genkey -alias <your_alias_name> or [Domain Name] -keyalg RSA -


keystore scp.keystore

3. If your vendor requires a CSR of size 2048 please use the command given below.

keytool -genkey -alias <your_alias_name> or [Domain Name] -keyalg RSA -


keysize 2048 -keystore scp.keystore

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

41
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

4. You will then be prompted to choose a password for your keystore.

NOTE: Please note that the Password should not contain $ symbol.

5. When it asks for first and last name, this is NOT your first and last name, but rather it is your
Fully Qualified Domain Name for the site you are securing.

6. If you are ordering a Wildcard Certificate this must begin with the * character.

7. On entering the required information, confirm that the information is correct by entering 'y' or
'yes' when prompted.

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

42
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

8. At the end of executing the above command, you will be prompted to enter keystore
password. Try giving the password same as your key password. Make sure to remember
the password you choose.
9. Your keystore file named scp.keystore is now created in your current working directory.

NOTE: We request you to make a backup copy of the scp.keystore file before
installing the Certs. This backed up keystore can be used if the certificate installation
goes wrong or when you renew your certificates the next year.

Step 2: Creating .CSR (Certificate Signing Request) file

The .CSR (Certificate Signing Request) file is temporary and should be submitted to a CA to receive
CA-Signed Certificate files.

Please follow the steps given below to create the CSR file.
1. Open the Command Prompt
2. From the location <installation directory> \ jre \ bin execute the below command.

keytool -certreq -alias <your_alias_name> -file key.csr -keystore scp.keystore


In the above command <your_alias_name> is the alias name provided when
creating the keystore, key.csr is the name of the CSR file that will be created after
the command is executed.

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

43
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

Step 3: Install your SSL Certificate

Download the Certificate files received from the CA via e-mail to the directory where your keystore
(scp.keystore) was saved during the CSR creation process. The certificates must be installed to this
exact keystore. If you try to install it to a different keystore it will not work.

The certificates you had downloaded must be installed to your keystore in the correct order for your
certificate to be trusted. If the certificates are not installed in the correct order, then the certificate will
not authenticate properly. To find the correct order, double click on the domain certificate and then go
to ‘Certification Path’.

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

44
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

These certificates are usually in the format .cer or .crt. If your certificate is with the extension .p7b
please follow the instructions given in Installing a .P7b Certificate to export the certs to a .cer or .crt
format.

Looking at the above certification path we can infer that we need to import two other certificates
before the domain certificate. First is the Root, next the Intermediate and finally the Domain
Certificate. Some CAs may also use another certificate called Cross Intermediate. These
certificates can be downloaded from the Vendor’s website.

Installing the Root Certificate file

Each time you install a certificate to your keystore you will be prompted for the keystore password,
which you chose while generating your CSR. Type the following command to install the Root
certificate file:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file <File_Name>.crt -keystore scp.keystore

NOTE: Choose ‘Yes’ if you get prompted with a message that says "Certificate
already exists in system-wide CA keystore under alias <Alias Name> Do you still
want to add it to your own keystore? [no]:"

You will get a confirmation stating that the "Certificate was added to keystore".

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

45
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

Install the Intermediate Certificates and Cross Intermediate Certificates (if any).

Follow the instructions provided by the CA.


keytool -import -trustcacerts –alias intermediate -file <File_Name>.crt -keystore scp.keystore
keytool -import -trustcacerts –alias cross -file <File_Name>.crt -keystore scp.keystore
You will get a confirmation stating that the "Certificate was added to keystore".

Install the Primary or the Domain Certificate file

Type the following command to install the Primary certificate file:


keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias <your_alias_name or [Domain Name]> -file
your_domain_name.crt -keystore scp.keystore
Please note that <your_alias_name or [Domain Name]> should be replaced with the alias name
provided when creating the keystore (as discussed in Step 1). This time you will get a different
confirmation stating that the "Certificate reply was installed in keystore”.

Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

46
ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus :: Installation Guide

If you want to trust the certificate, then choose y or yes. Your Certificates are now installed to your
keystore file (scp.keystore).

Step 4: Configuring the Server


1. Copy the scp.keystore file from <SupportCenter_Home>\jre\bin to
<SupportCenter_Home>\server\default\conf
2. From the command prompt, execute changeWebServerPort.bat script to change the
connection mode to HTTPS.

Cmd>[SupportCenter Plus Home]\bin> changeWebServerPort.bat


<WEBSERVER_PORT> https

3. Finally, update the name of the keystore and the password, you gave in Step 1, while
generating scp.keystore in the file server.xml present under
<SupportCenter_Home>\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar

4. Restart the service ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus for the changes to take effect.

Install a .P7b Certificate

Some CA will provide the certificates with an extension .p7b. In such a case you can double click on
this file to open a console which will list all the required certificates. You can export these certificates
to Base-64 encoded X.509 (.cer) files. (Please refer to the Screenshots given below).

These certs can then be installed onto the keystore file using the instructions given in Step 3.

To export the certificate,


1. Go to [SupportCenter Plus Home] \ jre \ bin \ domain.P7B.

Renew SSL Certificate

In order to use the renewed certificate, you need to have taken a backup of the existing keystore file
(created while configuring the SSL), which was taken before the installation of any certs. If this file is
present, then you can replace this file in the [SupportCenter Home]\jre\bin folder and follow the
instructions from Step 3: Install your SSL Certificate.

If you do not have a backup of the keystore file, then you need to start from scratch i.e., from Step 1,
and get the certificates reissued for the new CSR (Certificate Signing Request).

You can use the following command to get the list of certificates installed in the keystore.
Keytool.exe –list –keystore scp.keystore

Below is an example of how a keystore looks before installing any Certificates. It will only have the
keyEntry.
