Enabling SSL in OpManager

 

OpManager (build 7010 onwards) supports SSL.

 

Here are the steps to enable SSL:

  1. Stop OpManager Service.
  2. Open a command prompt and change directory to /opmanager/bin.
  3. Execute the script OpManagerService.bat with -r option as shown below:

    OpManagerService.bat -r

    This removes the Service entry.

  4. Rename the folder called apache under /opmanager to apache-old.
  5. Click here to download the SSL-enabled Apache.
  6. Extract the zip file on /opmanager folder such that a new apache folder is seen under /opmanager.
  7. From the command prompt, with /opmanager/bin as the current directory, execute the script ssl_gen.bat. This creates the SSL Certificate.
  8. Now, execute the OpManagerService.bat script once again, but with the argument as -i as shown below. This recreates the OpManager Service.

    OpManagerService.bat -i

  9. Restart OpManager Service and connect as https://<opmanager host name or IP address>:<port number>. For instance, if the host name is OpM-Server and the port is 80, you will connect as

    https://OpM-Server:80
The WebClient is now SSL-enabled.
