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.
|
2 |
Open the server.config file. |
Setting up an encrypted database connection
The server.config file contains the optional parameter foglight.database.secureconn, which is used as part of the process of setting up an encrypted database connection for a MySQL® or Oracle® database. However, setting up an encrypted database connection is not supported if you are running a Microsoft® SQL Server® database.
Setting up an encrypted LDAP connection with SSL
|
1 |
Acquire the LDAP server certificate in .pem format from the administrator. |
|
2 |
Import the certificate into the Management Server keystore, <foglight_home>\jre\lib\security\cacerts (default password: changeit), with the following command: |
<foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -J-server ‑import ‑file <path_to_cert_file> ‑alias ldapsvrcert ‑keystore <path_to_cacerts> ‑storepass <store_pwd>
|
• |
Root CA certificate: <foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ldapsvrcert -keystore <path_to_cacerts> -storepass changeit -file <path_to_cert_file> |
|
• |
Intermediate CA certificate 1: <foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias ldapsvrcert2 -keystore <path_to_cacerts> -storepass changeit -file <path_to_cert_file> |
|
• |
Intermediate CA certificate 2: <foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias ldapsvrcert3 -keystore <path_to_cacerts> -storepass changeit -file <path_to_cert_file> |
