000030016 - How to replace the RSA  Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 self-signed console certificate with a certificate that uses SHA-256

1. Request a certificate by generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in the Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 Operations Console, which will request a SHA-1 certificate, but request that your CA use SHA-256 in their reply, and import that SHA-256 reply using this KB solution.
2. Optionally, use a third party tool (e. g., Java Keytool) to generate a CSR on behalf of the Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 server that requests the SHA-256 certificate, but you will need to use Keytool to import the private key that will be used by this SHA-256 certificate as well as import the replacement certificate.  This process is not covered in this solution.

1. Generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in the RSA Operations Console for a console certificate (Deployment Configuration > Certificates > Console Certificate Management).  This defaults to SHA-1 and cannot be modified.
2. Download this CSR file.  When done with this step, the CSR will be listed in the Operations Console with a Pending status, as shown below

3. Present the CSR file to your Certificate Authority (CA) and ask that the CA set the Response to use SHA-256 and not SHA-1. If possible, also request that this response be in a PKCS#7 format with either a .P7B or .cer extension for the file name
4. Download the CA response as a PKCS#7 with .P7B extension and, if the trust chain is not included in the single file, also download any root CA and intermediate root CA certificates that are part of the trust chain for your replacement console certificate.
5. Import the response file in the Operations Console. and test/verify 

6. If the PKCS#7 file does not work, try PKCS#12, and if that fails then talk to your CA

1. SSH to the Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 primary or replica on which you are replacing the certificate.
2. Login with the rsaadmin operating system account.
3. Navigate to /opt/rsa/am/utils.
4. Obtain the SSL Server Identity Certificate Keystore File Password, with the command below.  Enter the Operations Console administrator credentials, when prompted.  The SSL Server Identity Certificate Keystore File Password for this server is in bold below.

5. Using Keytool, view the certificates in the SSL Identity Certificate Keystore by alias using the command below.  Enter the SSL Server Identity Certificate Keystore File Password when prompted.  

rsaadmin@am81p:/opt/rsa/am/utils> ../appserver/jdk/jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore /opt/rsa/am/server/security/webserver-inactive.jks
Enter keystore password: <enter SSL Server Identity Certificate Keystore File Password captured above>

Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 3 entries

6. In the output above, the new alias for the pending CSR is vm1152015, which matches the Operations Console image in step 2 of Resolution.
