The Universal Agent suite includes an X.509 certificate utility, Universal Certificate, to create certificates for use in the Universal Agent suite.

...

Step 1

Create a Self-Signed CA Request:
 
ucert -create request -request_file ca_req.pem -private_key_file ca_pkey.pem -country US -state GA -locality Alpharetta -organization Stonebranch -common_name Stonebranch

Step 2

Create a CA Certificate:
 
ucert -create cert -request_file ca_req.pem -private_key_file ca_pkey.pem -cert_file ca_cert.pem -ca yes -not_after_date +3650

Step 3

Create a Server Certificate Request:
 
ucert -create request -request_file ubr1_req.pem -private_key_file ubr1_pkey.pem -country US -state GA -locality Alpharetta -organization Stonebranch -common_name "l64agent"

Step 4

Create a Server Certificate:
 
ucert -create cert -ca_cert_file ca_cert.pem -request_file ubr1_req.pem -private_key_file ca_pkey.pem -cert_file ubr1_cert.pem -not_after_date +3650

Step 5

The following files are generated in Steps 1 - 4:

  • CA PKEY = ca_pkey.pem
  • CA CERT = ca_cert.pem
  • Server PKEY = ubr1_pkey.pem
  • Server CERT = ubr1_cert.pem

Step 6

Add Server CERT and PKEY to the target ubroker.conf:

  • certificate /home/test/ubr1_cert.pem
  • private_key /home/test/ubr1_pkey.pem

Step 7

Copy ca_cert.pem to the source server.

Step 8

Run the following command from the source server to test:
 
/opt/universal/bin/ucmd -host l64agent -userid test -pwd xxx -cmd "pwd" -level info -verify_host_name yes -ca_certs /home/test/ca_cert.pem

Step 9

Use Universal Certificate to print the certificate and verify the certificate serial number:
 
ucert -print cert -cert_file ubr1_cert.pem
 
See #Certificate, below.

Step 10

Run following command from the source server to test:
 
/opt/universal/bin/ucmd -host l64agent -userid test -pwd xxx -cmd "pwd" -level info -verify_host_name yes -ca_certs /home/test/ca_cert.pem -verify_serial_number 0x28c91a7fb2f26649
