Certificate validation Certificate validation Certification validation With System Manager Solution Deployment Manager and Solution Deployment Manager client, you can enable a certificate-based TLS connection between the Solution Deployment Manager service and a host that is running Avaya Aura 7.x applications. This enables to establish secure communications between System Manager Solution Deployment Manager or the Solution Deployment Manager client and Appliance Virtualization Platform or ESXi hosts. The certificate-based sessions apply to the Avaya Aura Virtualized Appliance offer using host selfsigned certificates and the customer-provided Virtualization Environment using host self-signed or third party certificates. You can check the following with certificate based TLS sessions: Certificate valid dates Origin of Certificate Authority Chain of Trust CRL or OCSP state Log Certificate Validation Events Solution Deployment Manager checks the certificate status of hosts. If the certificate is incorrect, Solution Deployment Manager does not connect to the host. For the correct certificate: The fully qualified domain or IP address of the host to which you are connecting must match the value in the certificate and the certificate must be in date. Appliance Virtualization Platform and VMware ESXi hosts do not automatically regenerate their certificates when host details such as IP address or hostname and domain changes. The certificate might become incorrect for the host. If the certificate is incorrect: For the Appliance Virtualization Platform host, Solution Deployment Manager regenerates the certificate on the host and then uses the corrected certificate for the connection. For the VMware ESXi host or vcenter, the system denies connection. The customer must update or correct the certificate on the host or vcenter. For more information about updating the certificate, see Updating the certificate on the ESXi host from VMware. Note: Solution Deployment Manager: Validates certificate of vcenter Does not validate certificates for hosts that vcenter manages With Solution Deployment Manager, you can only accept certificate while adding vcenter.

Ensure that the domain name and the hostname of the ESXi host is set correctly and matches the FQDN that is present on the DNS servers, correct the entries to match if required. For security reason, the common name in the certificate must match the hostname to which you connect. 3. To generate new certificates, type /sbin/generate-certificates. The system generates and installs the certificate. 4. Restart the ESXi host. 5. (Optional) Do the following: a. Move the ESXi host to the maintenance mode. b. Install the new certificate. c. From the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI), restart management agents. Note: The host certificate must now match the fully qualified domain name of the host. VMware places only FQDN in certificates that are generated on the host. Therefore, use a fully qualified domain name to connect to ESXi hosts and vcenter from Solution Deployment Manager. Appliance Virtualization Platform places an IP address and FQDN in generated certificates. Therefore, from Solution Deployment Manager, you can connect to Appliance Virtualization Platform hosts through IP address or FQDN. The connection from Solution Deployment Manager 7.0.1 to a vcenter or ESXi host by using an IP address fails because the IP address is absent in the certificate and the connection is not sufficiently secure.

Certificate validation Generating new self-signed certificates for the ESXi host About this task Generate new certificates only if you change the host name or accidentally delete the certificate. Under certain circumstances, you must force the host to generate new certificates. To receive the full benefit of certificate checking, particularly if you want to use encrypted remote connections externally, do not use a self-signed certificate. Instead, install new certificates that are signed by a valid internal certificate authority or purchase a certificate from a trusted security authority. Before you begin Start an SSH session on the ESXi host. Procedure 1. Log in to the ESXi host as an admin user. 2. To create a backup of any existing certificates, in the /etc/vmware/ssl directory, rename the certificates by using the following commands: mv rui.crt orig.rui.crt mv rui.key orig.rui.key Note: Do not perform the step if you are regenerating certificates because you deleted the certificates. 3. To generate new certificates, type /sbin/generate-certificates. 4. Restart the ESXi host. The generation process places the certificates places in the correct location. 5. (Optional) Do the following: a. Move the ESXi host to the maintenance mode. b. Install the new certificate. c. Restart management agents from Direct Console User Interface (DCUI). 6. Do the following to confirm that the host successfully generated new certificates: Next steps a. Type ls -la. b. Compare the time stamps of the new certificate files with orig.rui.crt and orig.rui.key. Replace the self-signed certificate and the key with a trusted certificate and key.

Chapter 8: Out of Band Management configuration Avaya Aura Out of Band Management Out of Band Management is defined as a physical or logical separation of user and management traffic, either to different VLANs or different physical interfaces on the server for increased security of the system. Only administrator can gain access to the management interfaces from a specific network, users of the system cannot gain access. This prevents unauthorized login from the user network to applications. Only the ports and servers that are required for user functions are provided to the user network. Management interfaces are provided to the management network. In Out of Band Management setup, an administrator username and password is not sufficient to gain access to the system. The login attempt must also be able to access the Out of Band Management network. When out of band management is enabled, Avaya Aura applications run: User services on one network interface. For example, IP phone registration, user configuration, and media traffic Management services on another network interface. For example, administration webpages, SSH connections, and management traffic from System Manager. May 2016 Deploying Avaya Aura applications 97
