If you are using strict authentication for the connection between Log Manager and the Novell
applications, a truststore can improve data security.
A truststore can be created using the Java* "keytool" executable, which comes with any JRE*
installation. This truststore holds a public and private keypair that can be used to replace the default
certificate that comes with Sentinel Log Manager. There are basic instructions below, but for more
information on keytool, see the
keytool.html).
1 Go to the directory for Java (for example,
/bin
2 Run the following command:
keytool -genkey -alias alias -keystore .keystore
3 Specify a password for the truststore. This password is used when you import the truststore.
4 Specify the following information:
First and last name
Organizational unit
Organization
City or locality
State or province
Two-digit country code
5 Verify the information.
6 Press Enter to use the same password as the keystore password.
A file is created with a private key and corresponding public key (certificate).
