Retrieve signer certificates using SSL properties files

Use properties files to retrieve Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) signer certificates.

Determine whether to change the SSL configuration.

From the server profile bin directory, run wsadmin -lang jython

Using a properties file set SSL properties and retrieve SSL signer certificates from a port.

Run the applyConfigProperties command using wsadmin to apply SSL properties and run the retrieveSignerFromPort command.

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Not applicable
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable
retrieve signer	Create a properties file that specifies CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true, commandName=retrieveSignerFromPort, and SSL property values such as port number, certificate alias, and key store name. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

1. Create a properties file that specifies the retrieveSignerFromPort command and SSL property values.

   The following properties file specifies CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true, commandName=retrieveSignerFromPort, and SSL property values such as port number, certificate alias, and key store name:

   #
   # Header
   #
   CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true
   #SKIP=true
   commandName=retrieveSignerFromPort
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   port=1234 #Integer, required
   keyStoreScope=null #String
   sslConfigName=null #String
   host=myHost #String, required
   certificateAlias=certificateAlias #String, required
   keyStoreName=CellDefaultTrustStore #String, required
   sslConfigScopeName=null  #

   If needed, modify the environment section to match the system and make any required changes to properties.

2. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

   Running the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

   AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])

Results

Use the properties file to retrieve signer certificates and manage the SSL properties.

What to do next

If we changed SSL properties, save the changes to your configuration.
