Get an SSL/TLS certificate

  1. Get an SSL certificate for the chosen domain. Depending on the organization policy, it can be a certificate signed by an internal certificate authority (CA) or from an external CA.
    For evaluation purposes, a free certificate from Let’s Encrypt with DNS-01 challenge can be used, see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge- types/#dns-01-challenge.

  2. Make sure that the certificate contains PEM-encoded CERTIFICATE and PRIVATE KEY blocks and has a .pem or .crt suffix.

  3. If the blocks are in different files, add the blocks to the same file.
    Example of .pem file:
    —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–

    —–END CERTIFICATE—– —–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—– —–END RSA PRIVATE KEY—–
  4. Upload the certificate to Getinge Connect Control Center in the setup wizard. Getinge Connect Control Center does not support alternative certificate installation methods.

Allow proxy interception
If a proxy intercepts Getinge Connect Control Center traffic, there can be communication problems with the security assertion markup language (SAML) provider and the Getinge public key infrastructure (PKI) server.

To allow proxy interception, CA variables can be configured. The variables are only read at installation and upgrade of Getinge Connect Control Center and can be set to the path of the same file.

  1. Edit /etc/default/g3c on the virtual machine.

  2. If applicable, set SAML_CA to the path of the file that contains the PEM-encoded CA chain of the proxy that is between
    Getinge Connect Control Center and the SAML provider.

  3. If applicable, set MITM_CA to the path of the file that contains the PEM-encoded CA chain of the proxy that is between
    Getinge Connect Control Center and the Getinge PKI server.
