Overview

If you have encountered problems when adding your own certificates to a Matillion ETL instance, you may wish to recreate the self-signed certificates that come "out of the box" with a new Matillion ETL instance. Recreating a self-signed certificate will allow you to add your own certificates by clicking AdminSSL.


How to recreate a self-signed SSL certificate

  1. SSH into your Matillion ETL instance.
  2. Issue the following commands:
  • sudo su - root
  • openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -subj "/C=GB" -keyout /usr/share/tomcat/conf/localhost.key -out /usr/share/tomcat/conf/localhost.crt
  • chown -R tomcat: /usr/share/tomcat/conf/localhost.*
  • chmod g+w /usr/share/tomcat/conf/localhost.*
  • service tomcat restart
Note

These commands are only valid for instances of Matillion ETL that store their certificates in the following location: /usr/share/tomcat/conf/
