  1. Determine if you want to use the default certificate or generate a new one:
    • To use the default certificate files under the path /home/beehive/certs/ on the queen, continue to the next step.
    • To manually generate a new private key and certificate, log in to the queen as beehive and ensure that the queen is using openssl version 1.0.1c or later by issuing:
      # openssl version

      Then issue:

      # openssl genrsa 1024 > server.key
      # chmod 400 server.key
      # openssl req -config /home/beehive/config/openssl.cnf -new -x509 
-nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key server.key > server.cert
      # openssl x509 -in server.cert -text > server.pem
  2. Make the following settings on the queen. You can use http://<queen-ip-address>:2407/std/configflags. You also need to configure the same settings on all the loader nodes if you want to enable SSL on Aster Loader and Exporter tools.
    • disallowPeerWithoutCertificates=false
    • trustedCAFileName=/home/beehive/certs/server.pem (or alternatively, use trustedCAPath to specify multiple files).
    • sslCertificatePath=/home/beehive/certs/server.cert
    • sslPrivateKeyPath=/home/beehive/certs/server.key
    • sslFileType=1 (A value of "1" means SSL_FILETYPE_PEM.)
    • Ensure that secureWrites is set to false.
    • Ensure that secureMuleServer is set to true.
