============================================================
Install/Update the StarlingX Rest and Web Server Certificate
============================================================
Use the following procedure to install or update the certificate for the REST
API application endpoints \(Keystone, Barbican and StarlingX\) and the web
administration server.
.. rubric:: |prereq|
Obtain an intermediate or Root |CA|-signed certificate and key from a trusted
intermediate or Root |CA|. Refer to the documentation for the external
Intermediate or Root |CA| that you are using, on how to create public
certificate and private key pairs, signed by intermediate or a Root |CA|, for
HTTPS.
For lab purposes, see :ref:`Create Certificates Locally using openssl
<create-certificates-locally-using-openssl>` for how to create a test
intermediate or Root |CA| certificate and key, and use it to sign test
certificates.
Put the |PEM| encoded versions of the certificate and key in a single file,
and copy the file to the controller host.
.. note::
If you plan to use the container-based remote CLIs, due to a limitation
in the Python2 SSL certificate validation, the certificate used for the
'ssl' certificate must either have:
#. CN=IPADDRESS and SANs=IPADDRESS
or
#. CN=FQDN and SANs=FQDN
where IPADDRESS and FQDN are for the OAM Floating IP Address.
.. rubric:: |proc|
- Install/update the copied certificate.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system certificate-install -m ssl <pathTocertificateAndKey>
where:
**<pathTocertificateAndKey>**
is the path to the file containing both the intermediate or Root
|CA|-signed certificate and private key to install.
