Creating and Configuring an Encryption Key

Use the Java genkey tool, located in the /executables directory, to create an additional private key and certificate for encrypting software. Follow the instructions in this topic if you did not use the install-di-diveline script to create the privatekey.txt and certificate.pem files during the DiveLine installation.

Complete the following steps:

1. Go to the /di/platform/executables directory.

   cd /di/platform/executables

2. Use genkey and the following syntax to create an encryption key:

   ./genkey <country> <state> <location> <organization> <server name> <email address>

   For example:

   ./genkey US MA Burlington Dimensional Insight ubuntu [email protected]

3. Go to the /di/platform/dl-dataroot directory.

   cd /di/platform/dl-dataroot

4. View permissions for /config .

   ls -l

   The permissions display.

   If the permissions are -rwxrwxrwx, you can open and modify the directory and its contents. Proceed to step 5.

   If you do not have permission:

   1. Enable the execute permission.

      sudo chmod a+rwx config

   2. Verify that the permissions have changed.

      ls -l config

      The permissions display as drwxrwxrwx.

5. Move the privatekey.txt and certificate.pem files to the /dl-dataroot/config directory.

   mv privatekey.txt certificate.pem /di/platform/dl-dataroot/config

6. Go to the /config directory.

   cd /di/platform/dl-dataroot/config

7. Verify that the privatekey.txt and certificate.pem files are present in the /config directory.

   ls
