2.3 Security Management Enhancements

Operations Center 5.7 provides the following enhancements to security management:

2.3.1 Key Manager Utility

The Operations Center Configuration Manager and the dashboard Configuration Manager include a utility, Key Manager, that guides you through the process of generating a self-signed certificate and establishing trust or, if you choose to use a CA certificate, creating a certificate signing request that you can submit to your CA.

In addition, you now have the ability to change the default keystore password, and Operations Center creates a secure directory that contains the keystore and keystore password files so that administrators can more easily manage and secure keystores.

For more information, see Keystore and Trust Store Configuration Details in the Operations Center Security Management Guide.

2.3.2 SSL Certificates Support Aliases and Wildcards

You can now use server name aliases and wildcard characters when generating SSL certificates.
