Purpose

This article explains about how to create NSX Manager & NSX Manager Superuser Principal Identity Certificates.

Resolution

You will provide the NSX Manager & Superuser Principal Identify certificates in the Ops manager while deploying Bosh/PKS tiles.

To generate and register these certificates, see the below pages in VMware PKS documentation:

Generating and Registering the NSX Manager Certificate for PKS

Generating and Registering the NSX Manager Superuser Principal Identity Certificate and Key

Workaround

Alternatively, use the following two scripts to generate the Super User Principal Identity certificate and private key and register the identity with NSX Manager:

create_certificate.sh – Creates the certificate and private key and uploads the certificate to NSX Manager

create_pi.sh – Creates the principal identity from the certificate and registers the identity with NSX Manager

NOTE: These scripts must be run on a Linux host with OpenSSL installed. In addition, the Linux host must be able to call the NSX Manager API. A good place to run these scripts is the PKS Client VM where the PKS CLI is installed.

Download the scripts:
http://storage.googleapis.com/pks-releases/scripts/create_certificate.sh
http://storage.googleapis.com/pks-releases/scripts/create_pi.sh

Log into a Linux VM in your PKS environment, such as the PKS Client VM.

Run the following command to create an empty file for the first script: nano create_certificate.sh

Copy the contents of the create_certificate.sh script you downloaded to the new file you created.

Update the values for the first two lines to match your environment:

NSX_MANAGER_IP – IP address of the NSX Manager host

NSX_MANAGER_USERNAME – Username for NSX Manager

Save the script and run it using the following command: bash create_certificate.sh

When prompted enter the NSX_MANAGER_PASSWORD for the NSX user you provided in the script.

Verify results: the certifcate and private key are generated; the certificate is uploaded to the NSX Manager and the CERTIFICATE_ID value is returned to the console. You need this ID for the second script.

Run the following command to create an empty file for the second script: nano create_pi.sh

Copy the contents of create_pi.sh script you download to the new file you created.

Update the values for the first three lines to match your environment.

NSX_MANAGER_IP – IP address of the NSX Manager host

NSX_MANAGER_USERNAME – Username for NSX Manager

CERTIFICATE_ID – Returned from the create_certificate.sh script

Save the script and run it using the following command: bash create_pi.sh

When prompted enter the NSX_MANAGER_PASSWORD for the NSX user you provided in the script.

During configuration of PKS, copy/paste the contents of the certificate and private key to the NSX Manager Super User Principal Identity Certificate fields in the Networking tab of the PKS tile.
