By default, HPE IDOL Data Admin runs in plain HTTP mode. You can configure it to use SSL communications, by setting the appropriate system properties in the Java run command.
If you enable SSL, you cannot use plain HTTP with HPE IDOL Data Admin.
To configure HPE IDOL Data Admin to use SSL
Start HPE IDOL Data Admin with the Java run command, and include the following arguments:
-Dserver.ssl.key-store=path_to_keystore -Dserver.ssl.key-store-password=keystore_password -Dserver.ssl.key-password=key_password -Dserver.port=server_port
where,
path_to_keystore
|
is the path to a keystore. You must create a keystore and import your certificates into it. By default, HPE IDOL Data Admin expects this keystore to be in JKS format. For more information on JKS keystore creation, see https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19509-01/820-3503/ggfen/index.html. NOTE:
If you want to use a keystore in a different format, you must also set the -Dserver.ssl.key-store-type=pkcs12 |
keystore_password
|
is the password for the keystore. |
key_password
|
is the password for the key inside the keystore. |
server_port
|
is the port to user for HPE IDOL Data Admin. To use SSL, you must change this value from the default port (that is, you must not use port 8080). Typically you use port 8443, but you can use any valid port value. |
For example:
java -Dserver.ssl.key-store=/etc/ssl/private/keystore.jks -Dserver.ssl.key-store-password=MyPassword -Dserver.ssl.key-password=KeyPassword -Dhp.dataadmin.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=8443 -jar dataadmin.war -uriEncoding utf-8
If you run HPE IDOL Data Admin as a service on Windows, you can also add the same arguments to the dataadmin.xml
file.
If you run HPE IDOL Data Admin as a service on Linux, you can add the argument to the existing arguments variable in dataadmin.sh
for SysV, or dataadmin.conf
for Upstart.
When you modify the HPE IDOL Data Admin configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart HPE IDOL Data Admin to apply your configuration changes.
For more information on installing and running HPE IDOL Data Admin as a service on Windows or Linux, see Install HPE IDOL Data Admin.
