zwe init certificate [parameter [parameter]...]

Description

This command will generate certificate used by Zowe services.

If you specify --update-config with this command, these configurations could be written back to your Zowe YAML configuration file:

• zowe.certificate based on your zowe.setup.certificate configuration.

These Zowe YAML configurations showing with sample values are used:

• zowe.setup.certificate.type is the type of certificate. Valid values are "PKCS12" (USS keystore) or "JCEKS", "JCECCAKS", "JCERACFKS", "JCECCARACFKS", and "JCEHYBRIDRACFKS (z/OS keyring).
• zowe.setup.certificate.dname is the distinguished name of the certificate. You can define caCommonName, commonName, orgUnit, org, locality, state, and / or country. These configurations are optional.
• zowe.setup.certificate.validity is the validity days of the certificate. This is optional.
• zowe.setup.certificate.san is the Subject Alternative Name(s) of the certificate if they are different from zowe.externalDomains. Please note, for JCEKS, JCECCAKS, JCERACFKS, JCECCARACFKS, and JCEHYBRIDRACFKS type, with limitation of RACDCERT command, this should contain exact one hostname (domain) and one IP address.
• zowe.setup.certificate.importCertificateAuthorities is the list of certificate authorities will be imported to Zowe PKCS12 keystore or keyring. Please note, for keyring type, only maximum 2 CAs is supported. If you are using PKCS12 certificate, this should be USS files in PEM format. If you are using JCEKS, JCECCAKS, JCERACFKS, JCECCARACFKS, or JCEHYBRIDRACFKS certificate, this should be certificate labels on the z/OS system.
• zOSMF.host and zOSMF.port is the z/OSMF service information. This is required if you are using z/OSMF as authentication service.
• zowe.verifyCertificates indicates how Zowe should validate the certificate of services registered under Zowe APIML. Valid values are "STRICT", "NONSTRICT" or "DISABLED". If this is "STRICT", this command will try to validate the z/OSMF service certificate if z/OSMF is defined.

For PKCS12 certificate users,

• zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.directory is the directory where you plan to store the PKCS12 keystore and truststore. This is required if zowe.setup.certificate.type is PKCS12.
• zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.lock is a boolean configuration to tell if we should lock the PKCS12 keystore directory only for Zowe runtime user and group. Default value is true.
• zowe.setup.security.groups.admin and zowe.setup.security.users.zowe will be the default owner of keystore directory.
• You can also define name, password, caAlias and caPassword under zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12 to customized keystore and truststore. These configurations are optional, but it is recommended to update them from default values.
• Define zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.import.keystore if you already acquired certificate from other CA, stored them in PKCS12 format, and want to import into Zowe PKCS12 keystore.
• zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.import.password is the password for keystore defined in zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.import.keystore.
• zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.import.alias is the original certificate alias defined in zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.import.keystore. After imported, the certificate will be saved as alias specified in zowe.setup.certificate.pkcs12.name.

For keyring certificate users,

• zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.owner is the keyring owner. It's optional and default value is zowe.setup.security.users.zowe. If it's also not defined, the default value is ZWESVUSR.
• zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.name is the keyring name will be created on z/OS. This is required if zowe.setup.certificate.type is one of JCEKS, JCECCAKS, JCERACFKS, JCECCARACFKS, or JCEHYBRIDRACFKS.
• If you want to let Zowe to generate new certificate,
  • You can also customize label and caLabel under zowe.setup.certificate.keyring if you want to generate new certificate. Default value of label is localhost and default value of caLabel is localca.
• If you want to import certificate stored in MVS data set into Zowe keyring,
  • zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.connect.dsName is required in this case. It tells Zowe the data set where the certificate stored.
  • zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.connect.password is the password when importing the certificate.
  • The certificate will be imported with label defined in zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.label.
• If you want to connect existing certificate into Zowe keyring,
  • zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.connect.user is required and tells Zowe the owner of existing certificate. This field can have value of SITE.
  • zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.connect.label is also required and tells Zowe the label of existing certificate.
• If zowe.verifyCertificates is not DISABLED, and z/OSMF host (zOSMF.host) is provided, Zowe will try to trust z/OSMF certificate.
  • If you are using RACF or TSS security manager, Zowe will try to automatically detect the z/OSMF CA based on certificate owner specified by zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.zOSMF.user. Default value of this field is IZUSVR. If the automatic detection failed, you will need to define zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.zOSMF.ca indicates what is the label of z/OSMF root certificate authority.
  • If you are using ACF2 security manager, zowe.setup.certificate.keyring.zOSMF.ca is required to indicates what is the label of z/OSMF root certificate authority.
