Configure Certificates.
The first time you run the Dell Server Configuration Tool for
initial Dell Enterprise Server setup, certificates must be configured
for the Dell Compatibility Server, Dell Core Server, and Message Security.
You have a choice of which type of certificates to use – self-signed or signed:
–
Self-signed
certificates are signed by their own creator. Self-signed certificates are appropriate for pilots, POCs, etc. For
a production environment, Dell recommends public CA-signed or domain-signed certificates.
–
Signed
(public CA-signed or domain-signed) certificates are signed by a public CA or a domain. In the case of certificates
that are signed by a public certificate authority (CA), the certificate of the signing CA will, usually, already exist in the
Microsoft certificate store and therefore, the chain of trust will be automatically established. For domain CA-signed
certificates, if the workstation has been joined to the domain, the signing CA certificate from the domain will have been
added to the workstation’s Microsoft certificate store, thereby also creating a chain of trust.
The components that are affected by certificate configuration:
– Java Services (for instance, Dell Device Server, Dell Console
Web Services, and so on)
– .NET Applications (Dell Core Server)
– Validation of smart cards used for Preboot Authentication (Dell Security Server)
–
Importing of private encryption keys to be used for signing policy bundles being sent to Dell M
anager. Dell Manager
performs SSL validation for remotely-managed Enterprise Edition clients with Hardware Crypto Accelerators,
self-encrypting drives, or BitLocker Manager.
– Client Workstations:
• Workstations running the web browser version of the Silverlight Console
• Workstations running Dell Data Protection | BitLocker Manager
• Workstations running Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition
(
Windows clients)
Information regarding which type of certificates to use:
Preboot Authentication using smart cards requires SSL validation with the Dell Security Server. Dell Manager performs SSL
validation when connecting to the Dell Core Server. For these types of connections, the signing CA will need to be in the
keystore (either the Java keystore or the Microsoft keystore, depending on which Dell Server component is being discussed).
If self-signed certificates are chosen, the following options are available:
– Validation of smart cards used for Preboot
Authentication:
•
Import the “Root Agency” signing certificate and full chain of trust into the Dell Security Server Java keystore. For
more information, see Create a Self-Signed Certificate and Generate a Certificate Signin
g Request. The full chain of
trust must be imported.
– Dell Manager:
• Insert the “Root Agency” signing certificate (from the self-signed certificate genera
ted) into the workstation’s
“Trusted Root Certification Authorities” (for “local computer”) in the Microsoft keystore.
• Modify the behavior of Dell Manager to not perform SSL validation. To turn off Dell Manager SSL trust validation,
check
Disable Trust Chain Check
on the
Settings
tab.
The client computer also must have the following registry entry to disable trust validation:
