Step 3 Create a Valid LogLogic® Universal Collector Certificate by using a CA and OpenSSL

You must create the valid Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority in the LogLogic® Universal Collector configuration.

Procedure

  • Enter the following command:
    openssl ca -config ”conf_file.txt” -days 730 -in uc.csr -out uc.pem -notext
    Note: In this example, a file has been defined (conf_file.txt). If no configuration file has been specified, then OpenSSL takes /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf by default. Ensure that the path /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf is created and configured in advance.

    You will get a *.pem certificate that contains the LogLogic® Universal Collector’s certificate.

    Refer to the SSL Certificates HOWTO documentation to know how to create your Certificate Authority.
