Configuring the Remote Control Server for SSL 188Configuring the Remote Control Server for SSLThe Remote Control Server can be configured to use SSL for connections between the serverand a browser, so when you use the Remote Control Console, the connection is encrypted. Italso encrypts connections between the viewer and the server. In order to use SSL, you musthave a certificate and a private key.If you intend to use Remote Control with an SSL certificate for a secure connection, you caneither purchase a certificate through a third-party Certificate Authority (such as Verisign) ORcreate a self-signed certificate.NOTE: If you create a self-signed certificate, web browsers may not initially recognize thecertificate and display warning messages that the site is not trusted. They may require you tomake an exception in order to connect. The connection will be encrypted, however.To configure Remote Control for SSL, complete one of the following tasks:• Implementing a Certificate from a Certificate Authority• Implementing a Self-Signed CertificateImplementing a Certificate from a Certificate AuthorityYou can use Remote Control with a certificate from a Certificate Authority. Remote Controlrequires that the certificate be imported into the Java keystore. The steps may vary dependingon the certificate authority vendor.Wavelink strongly recommends that you backup the keystore and certificate files after youhave implemented your certificate.The steps provided below use the Java keytool utility. The following tasks are necessary toimplementing an SSL certificate from a certificate authority:• Creating a Keystore• Generating the Certificate Signing Request• Importing the Certificate• Configuring Remote Control to Use SSL• Accessing the Remote Control Console over a Secure Connection• Configuring the Package with the Server Address
Configuring the Remote Control Server for SSL 189Creating a KeystoreTo create a keystore for the certificate, use the keytool.exe utility. You will need to provide adomain name (Common Name), organizational unit, organization, city, state, and countrycode. You will also need to provide a keystore name and passwords for the keystore and alias.These should be noted for future reference.To generate a keystore for the certificate:1 From a command line, navigate to:[RC installation directory]\jre\binwhere [RC installation directory] is the directory where Remote Control isinstalled.2 Use the command:keytool -genkey -alias rcselfcert -keyalg RSA -keystore keystore3 At the prompt Enter keystore password, type the keystore password. When prompted, reenterthe password.4 At the prompt What is your first and last name, type the domain name. The domainname you enter should be the domain name for the server where Remote Control isinstalled. Wavelink recommends using the fully qualified domain name unless you plan touse a wildcard certificate.NOTE: Remote Control will not function if the domain name on the certificate is incorrect.5 At the prompts, enter your organizational unit, organization, city, state, and the countrycode.6 When you are prompted to review your information, type yes to confirm that it iscorrect. If you type no, you will be guided through the prompts again.7 At the prompt Enter key password for , press Return to use the samepassword for the key.8 The certificate and keystore are created.An example of generating a keystore:Enter keystore password: avalancheRe-enter new password: avalancheWhat is your first and last name?[Unknown]: domain.wavelink.comWhat is the name of your organizational unit?[Unknown]:EngineeringWhat is the name of your organization?[Unknown]: Wavelink
