Connecting ITIC via SSL Connection

How To


Summary

Pre-requisites: SSL must be configured on Database server, get the certificate file and know the secure port number.

1. Install ITIC7.6.0.1 HF5 or later

2. Obtain the certificate file (<FILENAME>.crt) from Database Server.

3. Place the <FILENAME>.crt certificate in a suitable directory <LOCALFOLDER> on your local ITIC environment.

4. Execute the following command from the <JAVA_HOME>/bin directory (note that JAVA_HOME must be the same used by ITIC as specified in <ITIC>\bin\init.sh(bat) file):

keytool -importcert -file "<LOCALFOLDER><FILENAME>.crt" -keystore ..\jre\lib\security\cacerts

Enter password when prompted

5. Edit the <ITIC>\data\properties\fusion.properties file:

a) Update the mxe.db.url property to reflect the secure port.
b) Add mxe.db.useSSL=true

6. Edit the <ITIC>\data\properties\jdbcinfo.properties file. Update the <DATABASE TYPE>.fieldList property, adding USE_SSL(B). For example:

db2.fieldList=HOST_NAME,HOST_PORT(N),USE_SSL(B),DATABASE_NAME,USER,PASSWORD,TABLE_OWNER

7. Within the ITIC UI, if there are data sources already defined, ensure that they are updated to point to the secure port and check the “Use SSL” checkbox.
