How to use SSL with the Solaris agent:
- Install Stunnel on Solaris.
- Install the agent on Solaris.
Run the command to see the executed script:
Code Block language text inetadm -l /network/uptimeagent/tcp | fgrep exec
Run the command to update the executed script for the agent:
Code Block language text inetadm -m /network/uptimeagent/tcp exec="/usr/sbin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/uptimeagent.conf"
where /usr/sbin/stunnel is the path to the stunnel executable and /usr/local/etc/stunnel/uptimeagent.conf is the path to the uptimeagent.conf built for stunnel to use.
Run the command to see that the executed script has been changed:
Code Block language text inetadm -l /network/uptimeagent/tcp | fgrep exec
- Create the certificate that will be used by Stunnel. For example:
Code Block language text openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config stunnel.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem
The following is a sample stunnel.cnf for the openssl program:
...
# create RSA certs - Server
...
Code Block language text # create RSA certs - Server RANDFILE = stunnel.rnd
...
[ req ]
...
...
default_bits = 1024
...
encrypt_key = yes
...
distinguished_name = req_dn
...
x509_extensions = cert_type
...
...
[ req_dn ]
...
...
countryName = Country Name (2 letter code)
...
countryName_default
...
= PL
...
countryName_min = 2
...
countryName_
...
stateOrProvinceName = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = Some-State
localityName = Locality Name (eg, city)
0.organizationName = Organization Name (eg, company)
max = 2 stateOrProvinceName = State or Province Name (full name) stateOrProvinceName_default = Some-State localityName = Locality Name (eg, city) 0.organizationName = Organization Name (eg, company) 0.organizationName_default = Stunnel Developers Ltd
...
...
organizationalUnitName = Organizational Unit Name (eg, section)
...
#organizationalUnitName_default =
...
...
0.
...
commonName = Common Name (FQDN of your server)
...
0.commonName_default = localhost
...
...
# To create a certificate for more than one name uncomment:
...
# 1.commonName = DNS alias of your server
...
# 2.commonName = DNS alias of your server
...
# ... # See http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/ssl_2.0_certificate.html
...
# to see how Netscape understands commonName.
...
...
[ cert_type ]
...
nsCertType = server
7. Copy stunnel.pem to <stunnel install directory>/uptimeagent.pem
...
8. Create the uptimeagent.conf with the following lines in the stunnel install directory:
...
Code Block language text cert=/etc/stunnel/uptimeagent.pem
...
exec=/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptimeagent
