Generating a self-signed identity certificate

About this task

Use this procedure to generate a temporary self-signed identity certificate on the Experience Portal server.

Procedure

  1. Log on to Linux on the Experience Portal server in one of the following ways:
    • Root user: Log on to the local Linux console as a root user if you are an Avaya Services representative, and use Avaya Enterprise Linux, or if the Avaya Service accounts are installed on this server.

    • Non-root user: Log on remotely as a non-root user, then enter the su - root command to change the user to root.

  2. Navigate to $AVAYA_HOME/Support/Security-Tools directory.
  3. Enter the bash SetupServerCertificate.sh -generate command.

    A new self-signed identity certificate is generated for the Experience Portal server.

    The system displays a message indicating that the services will be restarted and asks if you want to proceed.

    noteNote:

    If any service is not configured on the server while the script is running, the script will not restart these services after a new certificate is installed.

  4. Enter Y to proceed.

    A new self-signed identity certificate is generated.

    The system displays a message asking if you would like to install the certificate.

  5. Enter Y to proceed.

    The Experience Portal server services will restart.
