Deploy Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x

Replace the default self-signed security certificate with your own self-signed certificate

Replace the default self-signed security certificate with your own self-signed security certificate.

1. Find the location of keytool on your server, and open it.
   It is usually a part of the Java (JRE or JDK) installation on your server, in the bin directory. For example:

   • C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_XX\bin\keytool.exe
   • /usr/bin/keytool
2. Generate your RSA private key:

   keytool -genkey -alias <YOUR_ALIAS> -keyalg RSA -validity 360 -keysize 2048 -keystore <PATH_TO_NEW_KEYSTORE_FILE>

   1. If you want to define a password, add the following parameters to the command. Use the same password for both parameters.

      -storepass <KEYSTORE_PASSWORD> -keypass <KEYSTORE_PASSWORD> 

      NOTE: Specify a directory outside the PowerFlex Gateway installation directory for the newly created keystore file. This will prevent it from being overwritten when the PowerFlex Gateway is upgraded or reinstalled.
3. Edit the following items in the file <POWERFLEX_GATEWAY_INSTALLATION DIRECTORY>\conf\catalina.properties:
   1. keystore.file=<PATH_TO_NEW_KEYSTORE_FILE>
   2. keystore.password=<PASSWORD_DEFINED_DURING_KEYSTORE_CREATION>
      If you did not define a password, the default password is changeit.
4. Restart the PowerFlex Gateway service:
   • Windows: From the Windows Services window, restart the EMC ScaleIO Gateway.
   • Linux: Type the following command:

     service scaleio-gateway restart
