Changing the Console Proxy SSL Certificate and Domain If the administrator prefers, it is possible for the URL of the customer's console session to show a domain other than realhostip.com. The administrator can customize the displayed domain by selecting a different domain and uploading a new SSL certificate and private key. The domain must run a DNS service that is capable of resolving queries for addresses of the form aaa-bbb-ccc-ddd.your.domain to an IPv4 IP address in the form aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, for example, 202.8.44.1. To change the console proxy domain, SSL certificate, and private key: Set up dynamic name resolution or populate all possible DNS names in your public IP range into your existing DNS server with the format aaa-bbb-ccc-ddd.company.com -> aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. Generate the private key and certificate signing request (CSR). When you are using openssl to generate private/public key pairs and CSRs, for the private key that you are going to paste into the &PRODUCT; UI, be sure to convert it into PKCS#8 format. Generate a new 2048-bit private keyopenssl genrsa -des3 -out yourprivate.key 2048 Generate a new certificate CSRopenssl req -new -key yourprivate.key -out yourcertificate.csr Head to the website of your favorite trusted Certificate Authority, purchase an SSL certificate, and submit the CSR. You should receive a valid certificate in return Convert your private key format into PKCS#8 encrypted format.openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -in yourprivate.key -out yourprivate.pkcs8.encrypted.key Convert your PKCS#8 encrypted private key into the PKCS#8 format that is compliant with &PRODUCT;openssl pkcs8 -in yourprivate.pkcs8.encrypted.key -out yourprivate.pkcs8.key In the Update SSL Certificate screen of the &PRODUCT; UI, paste the following The Certificate you generated in the previous steps.
