  5. Enter the following information as the Keytool prompts for it.

    NOTE:

    Back up configuration files before editing them. Only change the specified parameters. Changing other data in these files, including tags, can cause system corruption and failure. Dell cannot guarantee that problems resulting from unauthorized changes to these files can be solved without reinstalling the Security Management Server.

  • Keystore password: Enter a password (unsupported characters are <>;&" '), and set the variable in the component conf file to the same value, as follows:

    <Device Server install dir>\conf\application.properties. Set the value keystore.password =

    <Security Server install dir>\conf\application.properties. Set the value keystore.password =

  • Fully Qualified Server Name: Enter the fully qualified name of the server where the component you are working with is installed. This fully qualified name includes the hostname and the domain name (example, server.domain.com).

  • Organization: Enter the appropriate value (example, Dell).

  • City or locality: Enter the appropriate value (example, Dallas).

  • State or province: Enter the unabbreviated state or province name (example, Texas).

  • Two-letter country or region code.

  • The utility prompts for confirmation that the information is correct. If information is correct, type yes.

    If information is not correct, type no. The Keytool displays each value that was entered previously. Click Enter to accept the value or change the value and click Enter.

  • Key password for alias: If you do not enter another password here, this password defaults to the Keystore password.
