2.2. TLS/SSL Certification

The Red Hat Storage Console API requires Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) for secure interaction with client software such as the Manager's SDK and CLI components. This involves obtaining a certificate from your Red Hat Storage Console server and importing it into the certificate store of your client.

Important

Obtain your certificate from the Red Hat Storage Console using a secure network connection.

Procedure 2.2. Obtaining a Certificate

This process helps a user obtain a certificate from the Red Hat Storage Console and transfer it to the client machine. A user achieves this using one of three methods:
  1. Method 1 - Use a command line tool to download the certificate from the server. Examples of command line tools include cURL and Wget. Both are available on multiple platforms.
    1. If using cURL: 
      curl -o rhsc.cer http://[rhsc-server]/ca.crt
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. If using Wget: 
      wget -O rhsc.cer http://[rhsc-server]/ca.crt
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Method 2 - Use a web browser to navigate to the certificate located at: 
    http://[rhsc-server]/ca.crt
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Depending on the browser, the certificate either downloads or imports into the browser's keystore.
    1. If the browser downloads the certificate: save the file as rhsc.cer.
      If the browser imports the certificate: export it from the browser's certification options and save it as rhsc.cer.
Each of the above three methods creates a certificate file named rhsc.cer on your client machine. An API user imports this file into the certificate store of the client.
