Configuring custom certificates for RQA administrator dashboard and RQA widget

OpenShift® provides a default certificate that is configured for the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget. But the Red Hat OpenShift administrator can also configure valid certificates for the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget.

About this task

Obtain valid certificates from the certificate authority of the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget that matches your custom hostname. You must have the certificate files and the private keys available before you update the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget routes with the certificates.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to create Transport Layer Security (TLS) secrets for the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget:

  1. Log in to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform by using the Red Hat OpenShift command line.
  2. Select the project where you want to install the RQA instance.
    You can run the following command:

    oc project <project name>

  3. Paste the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate and the private key in the RQA project directory.
  4. Create secrets for the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget by using the following commands:

    oc create secret tls <dashboard> --key=<dashboard.key> --cert=<dashboard.pem>

    oc create secret tls <widget> --key=<widget.key> --cert=<widget.pem>

    See Understanding secrets.
    The secrets that you created for the RQA administrator dashboard and the RQA widget are used when you create an RQA instance.
