Importing a PKCS #12 (pfx) format certificate

If you have an existing SSL certificate and you want to use this certificate in Tomcat, follow the steps below to import this SSL certificate.

* 
NOTE: This certificate must be provided in the PKCS #12 (pfx) format. If the certificate and private key are saved in separate files, run the following command to merge them to the PKCS12 format:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in <certfile> -inkey <keyfile> -out <keystorefile> -name tomcat -CAfile <cacertfile> -caname root
To import a certificate in Tomcat:
1
Delete the existing tomcat certificate from the tomcat.keystore directory using the following command:
<foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -keystore <foglight_home>\config\tomcat.keystore -storepass nitrogen -alias tomcat -delete>
 
2
Obtain the certificate’s alias name from the certificate PFX file using the following command:
<foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -keystore <your certificate pfx file> -storepass <certificate pfx password> -list -v
The following is an example of command output. The value of Alias name is required in step 3.
Your keystore contains 1 entry
Alias name: tq-294043e3-fd9d-42ee-a596-0217c7d6d5f8
Creation date: May 8, 2020
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
3
Merge the Tomcat keystore and the PKCS12 keystore using the following command:
<foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore <foglight_home>\config\tomcat.keystore -deststorepass nitrogen -destalias tomcat -destkeypass nitrogen -srckeystore <your certificate pfx file> -srcstorepass <certificate pfx password> -srcstoretype pkcs12 -srcalias <alias name in step 2>

Setting the length of Foglight sessions

 
* 
NOTE: This section applies only to Foglight Evolve.

You can configure the length of inactive Foglight browser interface sessions by changing the value of the parameter server.console.session.timeout. This parameter controls the length of time that Foglight waits before automatically logging you out of an idle browser interface session.

To change the Foglight session time-out setting:
1
Stop the Management Server. Open the file <foglight_home>\config\server.config on the Management Server machine. Set the parameter server.console.session.timeout to the desired value in minutes.
The default value is 60 minutes. If you set the value to less than or equal to 0, or greater than 30000000, Foglight never logs you out of the browser interface, regardless of how long the session has been inactive.
For example, to increase the time-out to 2 hours (120 minutes), you would set this parameter as follows:
server.console.session.timeout = "120";
2
Save the server.config file.
3
Restart the Management Server.

HP patch checking tool

If your external database is installed on an HP-UX server, HP provides a tool for ensuring that all the patches required to run Java® on HP-UX are installed.

The tool is available from:

http://www.hp.com/go/java

To use the tool, issue the following command:

java -jar ./HPjconfig.jar -nogui -patches -listmis -javavers 6.0

Uninstalling Foglight

You can uninstall Foglight using the uninstaller utility for your platform. The uninstaller can be found in <foglight_home>\UninstallerData.

The default mode for the uninstaller is the graphical user interface (GUI) mode. However, in cases where a graphics display is not available, the Foglight installer can be run from the command line by using the silent uninstaller.

To uninstall Foglight:
1
Stop the Foglight Management Server using the appropriate method:
•
To stop a standalone Management Server that is not running as a Windows® service, follow the instructions in Stopping the Management Server.
•
To stop a standalone Management Server that is running as a Windows service, follow the instructions in Running the Management Server as a Windows service.
•
To stop a Management Server that is running in High Availability (HA) mode, follow the instructions in Starting and stopping the Management Server in High Availability mode.
2
Navigate to the UninstallerData directory of your Foglight installation and run the Uninstall Foglight executable.
•
To launch the uninstaller in GUI mode, simply run the Uninstall Foglight executable.
•
To launch the uninstaller in silent mode, run the Uninstall Foglight executable using the following command:
”Uninstall Foglight.exe” -i silent -f installvariables.properties
3
After uninstallation, you can safely delete the <foglight_home> directory. It is recommended that you do so, since the uninstaller does not remove certain directories within <foglight_home>.
 
* 
NOTE: After uninstallation, you can also safely delete any Foglight shortcuts, regardless of their location.
