Configuring Environement for Keytool

View Manager includes a tool that can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) called keytool. Using keytool, we can access the SSL keyring installed within View Manager and create, edit or delete the SSL keys used by our web server.

If you used the default install path for your Security and Connection server deployments, you will find keytool.exe located in the following path:
'C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\jre\bin'

We begin by adding the location (or the path in which you installed View) to our system's environment PATH variable within Windows:

1. Click Start >> Settings >> Control Panel
   
   
2. Double click on the System icon Under the Advanced tab, click 'Environment Variables'
   
   
   
   
3. Highlight the Path variable and click edit. Append the following to 'Variable value':
   ';C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\jre\bin'
   
   
   
   
4. Click through the remaining screens selecting the 'OK' option until the changes have been saved.

Siddharth |27/12/2011 10:57:50 Hi, Somehow I am not able to make this work Used a go daddy cert and downloaded it as a tomcat server certificate as Vmware support suggests All steps work find while importing the certificate Once security server services are restarted I see the server only listening on http://*:80 Any clues Reply | Quote

MrSanchez |02/03/2012 13:10:38 Hi, Had a problem with go daddy certs too. What you need to do is convert the PEM certificate (.crt, .cer) to PKCS#7 format as mentioned above. I used the following website www.sslshopper.com to convert. When converting there will be an option for Chain Certificate File, it says optional but had to choose my gd_intermediate.crt.

MrSanchez |02/03/2012 13:29:08 Hi All, I also had a problem with the locked.properties file. Had to create it in notepad and VMware support had me add the following line: storetype=pkcs12. So my file ended up looking like this: clientHost=viewservername.com clientPort=443 clientProtocol=https keyfile=keys.p12 keypass=MY_PASS storetype=pkcs12 Hope it helps someone. Thanks to the people running this website, came in very handy. Hasta la vista! Reply | Quote

GMTX |26/04/2012 15:10:52 Just one thing to add about generating the keystore. If you want more than 1024 bit keys (and these days you do), add the -keysize parameter to the command that generates the store, for example: keytool -genkey -keyalg "RSA" -keysize 2048 -keystore keys.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -validity 360 Reply | Quote
