Changing external database credentials

Use the following method to reconfigure Foglight to start up with a new database password. The password can be updated in the server.config file.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not use “<“ and “>” in your password, for example jo<anne>123. These characters corrupt the XML in the server.config file, causing Foglight to fail to start successfully.
To encrypt your database password using the keyman command:
1
Specify the following from the command line:
> bin/keyman -d [FGLHOME/config] encpwd "<new password>" foglight.defaultkey
The encrypted password appears.
2
Open the server.config file.
3
Replace the existing database password with the new encrypted database password on the following line:
server.database.password = "q4056753111e8a24c9a722048fc6df1f0"
4
Restart the Management Server.

Importing self-signed certificates to Foglight TrustStore

Foglight needs to verify self-signed certificates. It is necessary to configure the TrustStore properly for encrypted database/LDAP connection.

Non-FIPS mode

In non-FIPS mode, to be compatible with former Foglight versions, Foglight uses JRE TrustStore as the default TrustStore. The default TrustStore will NOT be preserved during Foglight upgrade. Foglight also support a separate TrustStore, which will be preserved during upgrade. Choose the one that best suits your needs:

Option 1: Import the certificate into the embedded JRE TrustStore, <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts (default password: changeit), with the following command:
<foglight_home>/jre/bin/keytool -import -file <path_to_cert_file> -alias <alias_of_cert> -keystore <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass <store_pwd>
Option 2: Prepare and import the certificate into Foglight TrustStore with the following steps:
1
Prepare TrustStore: copy <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.keystore.sample to <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.keystore
2
Import the certificate into the Foglight TrustStore, <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.keystore (default password: nitrogen), with the following command:
<foglight_home>/jre/bin/keytool -import -file <path_to_cert_file> -alias <alias_of_cert> -keystore <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.keystore -storepass <store_pwd>

FIPS-compliant mode

In FIPS-compliant mode, it is required to use FIPS-validated KeyStore type BCFKS.

Import the certificate into the Foglight default TrustStore in FIPS-compliant mode, <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore (default password: nitrogen) with the following command:
<foglight_home>/jre/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias <alias_of_cert> - file <path_to_cert_file> -keystore <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore -deststoretype BCFKS - provider org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath <foglight_home>/server/core/bc-fips.jar -storepass <store_pwd>
