The Certificate Management Server handles the renewal and distribution of certificates to enrolled mobile devices. The communication between the server and the Avalanche Enabler must also be secure to prevent interception of certificate information. To enable secure communication between the two, you must create a certificate and edit the csm.properties file with certificate credentials; otherwise, no certificates can be sent with the Certificate Manager. For more information about creating a certificate, see SSL Certificates.
The cms.properties file contains the following parameters that are used for communicating with the Certificate Management Server:
• InfoRail.Server. The IP address or hostname for the Avalanche InfoRail server. By default, it is set to 127.0.0.1.
• Cert.Path. Indicates the directory path to the SSL certificate used for secure communications. The default location is the /conf folder, and the default certificate name is cert.p12. If you place your certificate in a different folder and under a different name, the changes must be reflected here.
• Cert.Password. The challenge password associated with the certificate from when it was first created.
The following is an example containing values for each parameter:
InfoRail.Server=127.0.0.1
Cert.Path=./conf/cert.p12
Cert.Password.PlainText=password
To edit the cms.properties file:
1 Navigate to wavelink/Avalanche/Cert Manager/conf folder and open the csm.properties file with a text editor like Notepad.
2 Edit the values for the parameters listed above.
3 Save and close the file.
4 Restart all Avalanche services.
