Creating a Java KeyStore and SSL certificate
MettleCI Workbench can be configured to expose ports over HTTP, HTTPS, or both simultaneously at separate ports. Before configuring Workbench to use HTTPS, a Java KeyStore containing the HTTPS certificate must be created first. Java KeyStores can be created and managed using the keytool command included with all installations of Java.

Note that with the exception of keytool -list the keytool command will not normally return a value to the console to indicate it has executed successfully
Regenerating keys
If you want to regenerate your keystore certificate for any reason (i.e. it has expired) you can use the following command:
| Code Block |

# Delete it $> keytool -delete -noprompt -alias workbench -keystore workbench.p12 -storepass changeit # Verify it has been deleted $> keytool -list -v -keystore /opt/dm/mci/workbench.p12 -storetype PKCS12 -storepass changeit Keystore type: PKCS12 Keystore provider: SunJSSE Your keystore contains 0 entries $> |

Enabling HTTPS support in the MettleCI Workbench config.yml
Once a keystore containing the Workbench HTTPS certificate has been created, update your MettleCI config.yml file to add the following section:
...
Verify Workbench is up and running under HTTP and/or HTTPS by navigating to https://<host url>:8443 and/or http://<host url>:8080 (as appropriate) in your browser.
Trusting your certificate
You will need your local browser to trust the certificate on your DataStage engine tier. There will be slightly different processes for this depending upon your chosen browser and whether or not you have self-signed the certificate or used a CA.
Inspecting your certificate
Typically, when you first connect to Workbench using HTTPS you will see a certificate error in your browser. This may look like this…
...
Once you’re happy that the thumbprint matches you can proceed to installing your certificate.
Installing your certificate
If Install Certificate is enabled then click it to install the certificate into the Trust Root Certification Authorities store
