28. Set DNS Configuration:
a. To output the dns configuration, type:
dns
b. To set the application DNS server, type:
dns mmp add forwardzone
Note: A forward zone is a pair consisting of a domain name and a server address: if a
name is below the given domain name in the DNS hierarchy, then the DNS resolver
can query the given server. Multiple servers can be given for any particular domain
name to provide load balancing and fail over. A common usage will be to specify "." as
the domain name i.e. the root of the DNS hierarchy which matches every domain
name, i.e. is the server is on IP 10.1.1.1
dns mmp add forwardzone . 10.1.1.1
c. Similarly, configure the DNS for the MMP.
d. If you need to delete a DNS entry use:
dns mmp del forwardzone
for example:
dns mmp del forwardzone . 10.1.1.1
4.3 Creating the Web Admin Interface Certificate
You need to create a security certificate to install onto the Acano Server. For users happy to
trust that Acano meets requirements for generation of private key material, private keys and
associated Certificate Signing Requests can be generated with the MMP pki command.
29. Log in to the MMP and generate the private key and certificate signing request:
pki csr
where
webserver.key and webserver.csr files.
the DNS name for the server to be protected by SSL (for more information see
http://info.ssl.com/Article.aspx?id=10048
). For example, if the website to be protected will be
https://server.mycompany.com, then enter server.mycompany.com. Failure to do this will
result in browser certificate errors.
OU is the optional Organizational Unit,
O is the optional Organization,
ST is the optional State
C is the optional Country
30. The CSR is then used in one of two ways.
a. Ideally, send the CSR to a Certificate Authority (CA), such as Verisign who will verify the
identity of the requestor and issue a signed certificate.
i.
Transfer the file to the CA.
