Obtaining Server Keys and Certificates

You need a pair of server key and certificate for each of the following components:



Client Manager



Primary Master

If you plan to use a Remote Master, you need a pair of server key and certificate for it too.

If you are setting up a fault tolerant system, you also need a pair of server key and certificate for each of the following 
components:



Backup Master



Fault Monitor

All of these servers require keys and certificates be stored in Java Keystore (JKS) files.

You may generate key and certificate by yourself or obtain them from a trusted certificate authority (CA) using one of 
these methods:

There are various tools that allow you to generate keys and certificates, among them the Java Keytool that comes with 
JRE installation.
