10.10. Using 2-way SSL for the Management interface and the CLI

Procedure 10.4. 

1. Generate the stores:

   keytool -genkeypair -alias HOST1_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -validity 365 -keystore host1.keystore.jks -dname "CA_HOST1" -keypass secret -storepass secret

   keytool -genkeypair -alias HOST2_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -validity 365 -keystore host2.keystore.jks -dname "CA_HOST2" -keypass secret -storepass secret

2. Export the certificates:

   keytool -exportcert  -keystore HOST1.keystore.jks -alias HOST1_alias -keypass secret -storepass secret -file HOST1.cer
   

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   keytool -exportcert  -keystore HOST2.keystore.jks -alias HOST2_alias -keypass secret -storepass secret -file HOST2.cer

3. Import the certificates into the opposing trust stores:

   keytool -importcert -keystore HOST1.truststore.jks -storepass secret -alias HOST2_alias -trustcacerts -file HOST2.cer
   

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   keytool -importcert -keystore HOST2.truststore.jks -storepass secret -alias HOST1_alias -trustcacerts -file HOST1.cer

4. Define a CertificateRealm in the configuration for your installation (host.xml or standalone.xml) and point the interface to it:
   This can be done by manually editing the configuration file (not recommended) or by using the following commands:

   /core-service=management/security-realm=CertificateRealm:add()

   /core-service=management/security-realm=CertificateRealm:add/server-identity=ssl:add(keystore-path=/path/to/HOST1.keystore.jks,keystore-password=secret, alias=HOST1_alias)

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   /core-service=management/security-realm=CertificateRealm/authentication=truststore:add(keystore-path=/path/to/HOST1.truststore.jks,keystore-password=secret)

5. Edit the JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.xml and add the SSL configuration (using the appropriate values for the variables):

   <ssl>
     <alias>$HOST2alias</alias>
     <key-store>/path/to/HOST2.keystore.jks</key-store>
     <key-store-password>secret</key-store-password>
     <trust-store>/path/to/HOST2.truststore.jks</trust-store>
     <trust-store-password>secret</trust-store-password>
     <modify-trust-store>true</modify-trust-store>
   </ssl>
