In this blog, I will show you how to setup the Primary DSearch and IndexAgent in HTTPS for xPlore 1.5. The documentation about that is available on the EMC WebSite as always and the pdf name is: \u201cxPlore 1.5 Installation Guide.pdf\u201d. The reason why I wanted to wrote this blog is because the documentation is not too bad but there are still some missing parts and without these parts, your configuration will just not work properly. Moreover, I think it is better to have a concrete an complete example rather than just reading a PDF with some information spread on 40 different pages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s begin the configuration. The first thing to do is obviously to login to the Full Text Server where you xPlore 1.5 is installed. For this blog, I will use \/app\/xPlore as the installation folder of xPlore. I will also use a Self-Signed SSL Certificate with a Certificate Chain composed of a Root and Gold CA. So let\u2019s import the Certificate Chain in xPlore (following commands assume all certificates are available under \u201c\/app\/xPlore\/jboss7.1.1\/certs\u201d):<\/p>\n

[xplore@xplore_server_01 ~]$ \/app\/xPlore\/java64\/1.7.0_72\/bin\/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root_ca -keystore \/app\/xPlore\/java64\/1.7.0_72\/jre\/lib\/security\/cacerts -file \/app\/xPlore\/jboss7.1.1\/certs\/Internal_Root_CA.cer\nEnter keystore password:\n[xplore@xplore_server_01 ~]$ \/app\/xPlore\/java64\/1.7.0_72\/bin\/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias gold_ca -keystore \/app\/xPlore\/java64\/1.7.0_72\/jre\/lib\/security\/cacerts -file \/app\/xPlore\/jboss7.1.1\/certs\/Internal_Gold_CA1.cer\nEnter keystore password:<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
All java processes using \/app\/xPlore\/java64\/1.7.0_72\/bin\/java will now trust the Self-Signed SSL Certificate because the Certificate Chain is trusted. When this is done, shutdown all xPlore processes (Primary DSearch and IndexAgent(s)) and let\u2019s configure the Primary DSearch in HTTPS:<\/p>\n
