Hi Team , We would like to use internal ssl certificate instead of ssl certificate provided by dynatrace . Can you please share details steps on How to generate CSR from Managed Cluster Server . Do we need to generate 3 CSR if it is 3 Node cluster

Hello Prashant,

Use the OpenSSL toolkit to generate CSR and provide it to the CA you have selected in order to request a valid certificate.

Thanks what about keytool which is available in Linux

That can work as well, here’s a page I usually use as reference for keytool commands: The Most Common Java Keytool Keystore Commands

Hi James Do we need to use specific alias name & trust store /Keystore password while generating this request .Or it can be anything ?

I’m not an expert in this area so my answer wouldn’t be authoritative but in my experience it doesn’t really matter so long as you know what they are. I think the keystore name is generally based off of the host name.

Hello @Prashant S.

As per my understanding you will have to create a customized keystore.jks which contains a new private key accompanied by the certificate chain (with alias dtserver) and has it’s password defined.

Below link is for the AppMon but it should be apply on the Dynatrace.
