Omconfig preferences webserver

Use the omconfig preferences webserver command to set the encryption levels of the Server Administrator web server, configure the URL launch point in the Server Administrator web server environment, and to set the JRE version for the Server Administrator.

The following table displays the name=value pairs you can use with this command:
Table 1. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Preferences Webserver . This table lists the Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Preferences Webserver
name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 Description
attribute=sslencryption setting=autonegotiate | 128bitorhigher

autonegotiate: Sets the encryption levels automatically based on your web browser settings.

128bitorhigher: Sets the encryption levels to 128-bit or higher.

  • NOTE: This attribute is deprecated in the future releases, use ciphers instead.
attribute=seturl host=< string> port=< value>

Enables you to configure the Distributed Web Server (DWS) URL launch point, for accessing the management node. This command is used when Server Administrator Instrumentation Service and Remote Enablement are installed on the same system and the Server Administrator GUI is accessed using the DWS URL.

  • NOTE: This command is not supported if the web server is present on the same system.
attribute=signalgorithm setting=MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512

MD5: Sets the key signing algorithm to MD5.

SHA1: Sets the key signing algorithm to SHA1.

SHA256: Sets the key signing algorithm to SHA256.

SHA512: Sets the key signing algorithm to SHA512.

attribute=setjre jreversion=bundled | value

bundled: Sets the version bundled with Server Administrator. This is the default value.

value: Sets the provided version, which is available on the system. To obtain the available versions on the system, type omreport preferences webserver attribute=getjrelist. For more details, see omreport preferences webserver .

attribute=exportcsr N/A

Exports a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file. The exported .csr file is saved at <Server Administrator installation directory>\apache-tomcat\temp .

attribute=gennewcert cn=< common name> org=< organization name > ou=< organization unit name> location=< location name > state=< state name> country=< country name> validity=< validity> keysize=<512 | 1024 | 2048> algorithm=<MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512> webserverrestart=<true | false>

Creates a new self-signed certificate for the SSL communication between the server running Server Administrator and the web server.

  • NOTE: The country name ( country name) must be of two characters, and validity ( validity) must be in days. For country names, see the table, Country names and codes, provided later in this section. The validity, keysize, and algorithm parameters are optional. If you do not set any value for the optional parameters, Server Administrator assigns default values to the optional parameters. The default values of validity, keysize, and algorithm are 1095, 2048, and SHA512 respectively. Restarting Server Administrator web server is optional, but the generated certificate comes to effect only after restarting the web server.
attribute=uploadcert certfile=< path of the certificate file> type=<pkcs12> password=< password of the certificate file> webserverrestart=true | false

Allows you to import a PKCS#12 keystore that replaces the private key and certificate used in Server Administrator web server. PKCS#12 is public keystore that contains a private key and the certificate for a web server. Server Administrator uses the Java KeyStore (JKS) format to store the SSL certificates and its private key. Importing a PKCS#12 keystore to Server Administrator deletes the keystore entries, and imports a private key and certificate entries to the Server Administrator JKS.

  • NOTE: If you are importing a PKCS#12 keystore, specify the type and password of the certificate. Restarting Server Administrator web server is optional, but the uploaded certificate comes to effect only after restarting the web server.
  • NOTE: An error message is displayed if you either type an invalid PKCS file name or an incorrect password.
attribute=<ciphers> setting=<valid ciphers text value>

Allows you to choose the ciphers that support the web server while configuring. SSL provides a secure connection between the web server and the browser. The connection service does not start if an invalid cipher suite is set.

  • NOTE: If an incorrect cipher value is set and the connection service fails to start, use the CLI command prompt or manually set the valid ciphers and restart the connection service.
attribute=<sslprotocol> setting=<valid sslprotocol values are TLSv1.1| TLSv1.2| TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2|

Allows you to set the web server SSL protocols configuration from the valid values. The changes to take effect after web server restart.

attribute=<port> setting=<valid port value>

Sets the number of secure ports that you want Server Administrator to use. The port value range from 1024 to 65535. The default port for Server Administrator is 1311.

attribute=<ipaddress> setting=<valid Binding IPAddress value>

Sets by default the web server to incoming browser requests on ALL IP addresses. However, for increased security you can specify a single IP address or, ALL IP addresses. An error message is displayed on an invalid entry of the configurable Bind List of IP Address. For the changes to take effect, restart the web server.

attribute=<sessiontimeout> setting=<valid Session Timeout value between 1– 30>

Allows Server Administrator to time-out if there is no user input for a specified number of minutes. Users whose sessions time-out must log in again to continue.

An example command to set the URL launch point is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=seturl host=<name, ip, fqdn> port=<
                                    number>
                                 

The host input must contain a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a valid host name.

An example command to set the signing algorithm value is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=signalgorithm setting=MD5
An example command to set the JRE versions is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=setjre jreversion=<bundled | value>
An example command to export a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=exportcsr

The command creates a file of the format xxxx.csr in the < Server Administrator installation directory>\apache-tomcat\temp folder.

An example command to create a web server certificate is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=gennewcert cn=HostName org=dell ou=ESG location=RoundRock state=TX country=US validity=300
                                    keysize=2048 algorithm=SHA512 webserverrestart=true
                                 
An example command to upload a certificate on the Server Administrator web server is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=uploadcert certfile=C:/xyz.crt webserverrestart=true  
An example command to upload a certificate with a PKCS#12 keystore on the Server Administrator web server is as follows:
omconfig preferences webserver attribute=uploadcert certfile=C:/xyz.pfx type=pkcs12 password=abc webserverrestart=true
