How to create and install a new server certificate in TRITON or Forcepoint Infrastructure using Open SSL
outlines steps on how to create and install a new server certificate

Please contact the Technical Escalations Group in Support to get instructions for that version.

Creating and installing a certificate for version 8.0.0 resulted in the Infrastructure and Data Security Web Server services not being able to start after certificate installation with Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

For version 8.0.0, follow the Internal steps in this knowledge article, then perform the following steps afterwards. (Note that these instructions contain a potential security breach, which the customer should be made aware of before proceeding.)

Remove the password from the server private key (httpd-server.key): 

openssl rsa -in httpd-server.key -out httpd-server.key.raw 
copy httpd-server.key httpd-server.withpass 
ren httpd-server.key httpd-server.key.bak 
ren httpd-server.key.raw httpd-server.key

 

Comment out SSLPassPhraseDialog in HTTPD's ssl configuration file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
Restart EIP's web server 

The issue is the result of difficulties reading a key with a password. It is resolved in v8.0.1 by following the procedure in the above article.

Reviewed by Daniel Santiago 10/21/2015 - added note to step 5 on how to correctly use the -config switch for the openssl executable and showcased the commands by using the "code" button on the edito to avoid confusion as the previous edit used bullet points and when copy pasting if you weren't careful it could make it into the command itself
