Configuring Content Analytics with Enterprise Search crawler with SSL.

Question & Answer


Question

How can I configure crawlers of Content Analytics with Enterprise Search to use SSL certificates?

Answer

You can follow the steps below:

  1. Import the certificates into a keystore on the ICAwES box. You can use any location you want, e.g. $ES_INSTALL_ROOT/_jvm/jre/lib/security/cacerts. This is ICAwES's JAVA keystore.
  2. Enter the keystore location into the crawler configuration's SSL Location field.
  3. After the crawler's creation finishes restart the dsconfigurator session with this command:

    esadmin dsconfigurator restart


Note that the dsconfigurator needs to be restarted every time new certificates are imported or the keystore location changes.
