Creating a Kibana Certificate

This procedure describes how to create a Kibana certificate.

Before you begin

• Verify that the CA certificate and private key are available, as described in Creating a CA Certificate and Key.

Begin

1. Run one of the following:
   • UNIX:
   • em bmcpython $HOME/ctm_em/bin/generate_ssl_certificate.py generateCert --rootCert <ca_cert_path> --rootKey <ca_key_path> --outFolder <path_for_new_certificate> --certificateName <kibana_certificate_name> --subject "<subject for certificate>”
   • Windows:

     bmcpython "%EM_HOME%\bin\generate_ssl_certificate.py" generateCert --rootCert <ca_cert_path> --rootKey <ca_key_path> --outFolder <path_for_new_certificate> --certificateName <kibana_certificate_name> --subject "<subject for certificate>"

   NOTES:

   • You can append them to the above command: /C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=BMC_Software_Ltd/CN=<hostname>
   • You can verify the certificate details by running the following:

     openssl x509 -in ~/ctm_em/kibana/config/certificates/new_kibana-crt.pem -noout -text

   The Kibana certificate is created.
