SSO Certificate Management

Use this procedure to create a self-signed or third-party-signed system certificate to use when setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) on the web proxy node on VOSS-4-UC.

Note

  • Web server certificate management is carried out on the VOSS-4-UC command line. Refer to the CLI documentation for details.
  • During customer onboarding, SSO certificate creation is customer specific.

Procedure

  1. Log in as system administrator.
  2. Choose Single Sign On > Certificate Management.
  3. Click Add.
  4. On the Base tab, enter a Name and Description for the certificate.
    • For a self-signed certificate, leave the Generate Certificate Signing Request check box clear.
    • For a third-party-signed certificate, select the Generate Certificate Signing Request check box.
  5. For a self-signed certificate, control when the certificate is valid by changing the Valid From and Valid To fields. These are measured in seconds and default to 0 (now) and 315360000 (10 years), respectively.
  6. (Optional) Change the Key Length from the default of 1024.
  7. Click the Certificate Information tab, and complete all mandatory fields (see Certificate Management fields).
  8. Click Save.
  9. If you created a self-signed certificate you are done. If you requested a third-party-signed certificate, continue to the next step.
  10. Click the certificate you just created.
  11. Choose Action > Export Certificate Request.
  12. Follow your organization’s procedures to obtain the third-party signature for the certificate.
