This topic explains how to create self-signed TLS certificates for use in an
environment configuration. This information is intended for trial or testing
purposes only.
The runtime ingress gateway (the gateway that handles API proxy traffic) requires
a TLS certificate/key pair. For this quickstart installation, you can use self-signed
credentials. In the following steps, openssl is used
to generate the credentials.
Navigate to your HELM_CHARTS_HOME/apigee-virtualhost/ chart directory
and execute the following command to create the certificate and key files. The certificate files
will most likely have .crt or .pem extensions and the key file will most likely
have .key.
This command creates a self-signed certificate/key pair that you can use for the
quickstart installation. The CN mydomain.net can be any value you wish for
the self-signed credentials.
Check to make sure the files are in the ./certs directory:
ls ./certs
keystore.pem
keystore.key
Where keystore.pem is the self-signed TLS certificate file and keystore.key
is the key file.
