Note – your experience here may differ depending on your environmentĪssuming all goes well you should now be prompted to save the newly created file. A new window will appear, browse to and select your configuration file (the.Now it is time for us to ‘mint’ the certificate with our CA openssl.exe req -out ssmc.csr -key C:\pathToFile\ssmc.key -new -config C:\pathToFile\3parssmc.cfgĬ:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl.exe req -out ssmc.csr -key C:\OpenSSl\bin\ssmc.key -new -config C:\OpenSSL\bin\Tmp\lct-3parssmc.cfg.Run the command below amending the file paths.Now that we have a private key and a configuration file it’s time to generate the CSR. Once you have created the file it’s time to create our CSR which we will then feed through the CA. KeyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment, dataEnciphermentĬommonName = cfg extension – ĭistinguished_name = req_distinguished_name Copy the data into a text file and then modify the ‘alt_names’ and the ‘req_distinguished_name’ details. I have created a sample file below which you can amend to suit your needs. Next we need to create a configuration file to feed into OpenSSL to generate a certificate signing request or CSR. Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus Loading 'screen' into random state - done This will create a new private key using RSA with a key size of 2048 bits and output the data to a file called ssmc.keyĬ:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl.exe genrsa 2048 > ssmc.key.If you have not added OpenSSL to the your PATH list browse to it’s \bin directory.Open a Command prompt (Run as Administrator may be required to write the file depending on your system).

Step 1 – Create Certificate and Private Keyįirst we need to create the necessary certificate files, for this we will use OpenSSL Private Key Creation
3PAR SSMC INSTALLATION GUIDE WINDOWS
Note – this work was carried out on a Microsoft Windows platform, SSMC can be deployed on a Linux box and should I receive sufficient requests I will create a guide for deploying to Linux platforms.
3PAR SSMC INSTALLATION GUIDE UPDATE
The simplest solution was to just create my own Keystore file and password then update the files and XML entries. The difficult part was that the XML file entry for the password has been obfuscated so I either had to find a way to reverse this or get round it. Finding the Keystore files was easy as was discovering the XML file which provides the path to the Keystore and it’s password. This wasn’t immediately easy as HP don’t provide a GUI interface to do this through SSMC, it has to be done through manipulating Java Keystore files. Having deployed the latest version I needed to replace the default self-signed SSL certificate with one from my certificate authority (CA). It is the web based version of the classic 3PAR Management Console application. HP have released the latest version of the 3PAR StoreServe Management Console or SSMC for short.
