Practical Way to Upload Root Certificate on every host running OA Extension

[yuesong_teh]

Hi All,

Wondering is there any more practical way for us to handle the root certificate requirement for every host with if let say we are going to use custom built OA extension?

Imagine we have 1000 hosts, it seems impractical for us to go into every host to upload the root certificate though 😂😂(hopefully I didn't missed out any smart info)

Thanks in advance for the revert.

Hopefully your organization uses something like chef, puppet or ansible for large scale server administration. This would be a great use case for such a tool. We don't provide any existing method for it as that'd be against the security method of requiring access to the host to approve the certificate.

This is something I have to tackle as well in our environment.  At this point my plan is to engage our OS team(s) to assist with deployment of the file.  It should be trivial to have them assemble a package that drops the file in a specific location on each host...
