Replace the TLS certificate with a third-party CA-issued certificate

This procedure describes how to replace the existing TLS certificate with a third-party (public or private) certificate authority (CA)-issued TLS certificate.

When you request a TLS certificate from a certificate authority, you must provide information about your organization. It is recommended that you determine this information before you begin the process. See the TLS certificate data example section of this chapter for details and examples of the required information.
NOTE This procedure requires you to restart the isi_webui service, which restarts the web administration interface. It is recommended that you perform these steps during a scheduled maintenance window.
  1. Open a secure shell (SSH) connection to any node in the cluster and log in as root.
  2. List the current certificate:
    isi certificate server list
    Output similar to the following is displayed, where <old cert ID> is the ID number of the current certificate:
    ID Name Default 
    <old cert ID> 
    Isilon Systems True 
    Total: 1
    
  3. Import the new certificate. This assumes the certificate is located in the /ifs/local directory.
    isi certificate server import --certificate-
    path=/ifs/local/cert.pem --certificate-key-
    path=/ifs/local/key.pem --description='My new server 
    certificate' –default
  4. Confirm the new certificate was imported:
    isi certificate server list
    Output similar to the following is displayed, where <old cert ID> is the ID number of the current certificate:
    ID Name Default 
    <new cert ID>
    True 
    <old cert ID>
    Isilon Systems False 
    Total: 2
  5. Remove the old certificate:
    isi certificate server delete --id=<old cert ID>
  6. Confirm the deletion:
    Are you sure you want to delete this certificate (ID: <old cert ID>)?? (yes/[no]): yes
  7. Confirm the new certificate is the only one present:
    isi certificate server list 
    ID Name Default 
    <new cert ID>  True 
    Total: 1
    
    NOTE If you have multiple certificates, set the default one after you replace the old one:
    isi certificate settings modify --default-https-certificate=<certificate id>
