How do I connect to the license server if the existing master domain manager cannot connect to the Internet?

How do I connect an existing master domain manager to the license server without using the Internet?

About this task

Managing your licenses requires an Internet connection, but your master domain manager is located on a network without Internet access. You can then install a Local License Server (LLS) and import the LLS certificates into the master domain manager.

To solve this problem, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Install a local license server, as explained in the related documentation.
  2. Import the certificate created for the local license server in the master domain manager, as follows: 
    keytool -exportcert -keystore keystore_path -alias server_alias -file cert_file
keytool -importcert -file certificate.crt -keystore jks_keystore_path -alias "Alias“
    where:
    keystore_path
    Is the path to the keystore file
    server_alias
    Is the alias of the server
    cert_file
    Is the path to the certificates file
    jks_keystore_path
    Is the path to the keystore
  3. Run the health check command from the local license server and obtain the serverInstanceID to be specified in the licenseServerId parameter. For more information about the local license server, see the related documentation.
  4. Obtain the value of the licenseServerUrl parameter by combining the IP address and port number of the local license server, as follows: 
    https://LLS_ip_address:LLS_port_number
  5. Configure the licenseServerId and the licenseServerUrl parameters using optman with the values obtained in the previous steps. For more information, see Setting global options.

Example

Consider the following examples:
keytool -exportcert -keystore /opt/flexnetls/HCL/keystore.jks -alias server_alias -file /opt/flexnetls/HCL/certificate.crt
keytool -importcert -file certificate.crt -keystore <HWA_HOME>usr/servers/engineServer/resources/security/TWSServerTrustFile.jks -alias "server_alias"
