Create a Self-Signed Certificate and Generate a Certificate Signing Request
This section details the steps to create a self-signed certificate for the Java-based components. This process cannot be used to create a self-signed certificate for .NET-based components.
Dell recommends a self-signed certificate only in a non-production environment.
If your organization requires an SSL server certificate, or you need to create a certificate for other reasons, this section describes the process to create a java keystore using Keytool.
If your organization plans to use smart cards for authentication, you need to use Keytool to import the full certificate chain of trust that are used in the smart card user's certificate.
Keytool creates private keys that are passed in the format of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to a Certificate Authority (CA), such as VeriSign® or Entrust®. The CA will then, based on this CSR, create a server certificate that it signs. The server certificate is then downloaded to a file along with the signing authority certificate. The certificates are then imported into the cacerts file.
