  • 1.  Two way SSL communication with LISA

    Posted Mar 30, 2016 11:37 AM

    Hello Community Dwellers,

     

    We have a scenario where client wants 2 - way SSL communication with LISA.  Is there a mechanism which we can follow to allow 2-Way SSL with LISA.

    We followed below steps till now:

         1) Shared self signed key but that only allowed HTTPS communication and not the 2-way handshaking.

         2) Created a private key (.p12 extension) from the self-signed key but created 2 files in the server according to the environment team while installation.

     

    Any help will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,
    Ankush

    Which version of LISA are you using.  Setting up two-way SSL on LISA r7.x is different from setting it up using the SSL Assets available in later DevTest releases?

     

    It is likely that you will need to convert your .p12 (PKS12) file to a JKS file.  You should be able to use Java's keytool to do this.

     

    Two-way uses both a Trust Store and a Keystore.

    Helpful link:  Documentation on setting up SSL using Assets.  Also, points out prior version lisa.properties and implementation differences using Assets.

    SSL Assets - DevTest Solutions - 9.0 - CA Technologies Documentation  - See section on Trust Store and Key Store using two file assets.  Some of the LISA properties are mentioned in this section.
