Specifying Two-Way Authentication for Event Indications

This section describes how to set up two-way authentication for event

indications.

First Setup Procedure Performed in a CIM Client

Create a keystore file for the CIM and export the client authentication file.

For details, see Creating a Keystore File and Exporting an Authentication File

from a Keystore File.

Setup Procedure Performed in the Device Manager Server

The following describes the procedure for creating a keystore file and setting

up two-way authentication for event indications, importing the client

authentication file, and exporting the server authentication file.

1. Create a new keystore file for the event indication.

The following shows the default location of the keystore file used for event

indication (the keystore password is indssl).

– Windows: installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-

server\HiCommandServer\wsi\server\jserver\bin\.ind.keystore

– Solaris or Linux: installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-

server/HiCommandServer/wsi/server/jserver/bin/.ind.keystore

The default keystore file can be used without any modification. To use the

default keystore file, skip to step 6.

To create a new keystore file, name the file

.ind.keystore and use it to

replace the default keystore file. For details, see Creating a Keystore File

2. Encrypt the keystore password. Use

WSIEncryptString.jar to encrypt the

keystore password that was specified during creation of the keystore file at

step 1.

WSIEncryptString.jar is stored in the following location:

– Windows:

installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-

server\HiCommandServer\wsi\no-redist

– Solaris or Linux:

installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-

server/HiCommandServer/wsi/no-redist/

Example command execution:

> java -jar WSIEncryptString.jar

keystore-password

When the command is executed, the encrypted character string of the

keystore password is displayed. This character string is used in a later step.
