5.4 Yet Other Miscellaneous Operations
We further describe the other operations hard to categorize.
5.4.1 Security Certificate on Browsers
Since we need to access netLD server with HTTPS, security certification error is issued on a browser when you access the netLD instance. Ignoring the error and accessing netLD’s interactive interface via a browser is completely safe, but you can also issue and install SSL certificate to suppress the error message. While the operation is instructed with Internet Explorer, the similar method can also be applied to the other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Installing SSL Certificate
This instruction is for IE only. For the other browsers, refer to the guide provided by the browser vendor.
Start Internet Explorer browser and connect to netLD server, and select
Continue to this website (not recommended).
Click on the Install Certificate button.
Select Trusted Root Certification Authorities and click on the OK button.
Click on the Next button.
Click on the Finish button to save the change.
Click on the Yes button to install the certificate in Security Warning dialog.
Click on the OK button to finish the wizard.
Click on the OK button to close Certificate dialog.
Restart Internet Explorer and access the netLD GUI again. Confirm that the Security Certificate error is not displayed.
Updating SSL Certificate
Follow the following steps to update the SSL Certificate after the netLD installa- tion. These steps are only for updating the SSL Certificate and are not required while upgrading netLD itself.
1. Change directory to the netLD install directory directory in a command prompt. e.g. cd c:ˇProgram FilesˇNet LineDancerˇJavaˇbin
2. Enter the following commands to delete the existing SSL certificate. keytool
-delete -alias ziptie -keystore ../../osgi-configˇ.keystore -storepass
ziptie
3. Issue a new SSL Certificate with the following command. keytool -genkey
-keyalg RSA -dname "CN=netLD-server.logicvein.com, OU=Tech, O=LogicVein,
L=Kawasaki, S=Kanagawa, c=JP" -alias ziptie -keypass ziptie -keystore
"../../osgi-configˇ.keystore" -storepass ziptie -validity 3650
4. Finally, restart netLD service with net stop netld and net start netld.
Each key-value pair in the step 3 has the following meaning. Change the value appropriately.
• CN – Server FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
• OU – Branch name
• O – Company name
• L – City
• S – Prefecture, State
