11.1.1Create a Secure Data Transfer Environment Step by Step

The following steps describe the creation of the configuration:

Java Security Mode is activated (see 11.2.1 Change to Secured Mode)

Certificate verification is activated for a data connection (HTTPS or SecureConnection)

The steps described below use the cygwin + openssl environment (for installation see http://www.cygwin.com/, the openssl documentation can be found here http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html)

1.Create CA and generate CA Root Certificate

-We need certificates with sha1 signature. Java Security supports a sha1 signature of the certificate only.

Add the parameter "-sha1" to the command "Making CA certificate ..." in the section of file CA.pl (cygwin location “\cygwin\usr\ssl\misc”)

-create a shell (use location \cygwin\usr\ssl\misc)

-execute commands

>perl CA.pl –newca

-convert file format from PEM to DER

CA certificate cacert.pem

>openssl x509 -in ./demoCA/cacert.pem -inform PEM -out ./demoCA/cacert.der -outform DER

CA private key file cakey.pem

>openssl pkcs8 -in ./demoCA/private/cakey.pem -inform PEM

-out ./demoCA/private/cakey.der -outform DER -nocrypt -topk8

2.Create server certificate and java keystore

-execute command

>keytool -genkey -alias server -keypass keypass -keystore customer.ks -storepass keystorepass -sigalg SHA1withRSA -keyalg RSA

the field “name” of the certificate is the domain name or the IP address of the server

3.Create certificate request for server certificate

-execute command

>keytool -certreq -alias server -file server.csr -keypass keypass

-keystore customer.ks -storepass keystorepass

4.Sign certificate request by CA

-execute command

>openssl ca -in server.csr -out server.pem

-convert file format from PEM to DER

>openssl x509 -in server.pem -inform PEM

–out server.der -outform DER

5.Import CA root certificate and CA private key into java keystore

-Use the CA Root Certificate for the creation of Java Security Command (see chapter 11.5.3)

-execute command

>java -jar setprivatekey.jar -alias dummyca -storepass keystorepass -keystore customer.ks -keypass cakeypass
