However, if you decide to upgrade an existing VM Access Proxy to version 3.8, there are some additional steps that must be performed that supplement the published instructions. These steps are required to make sure that security improvments in the server.xml file are active in production.
Follow the procedure below.
- Follow the upgrade instructions.
- Stop the remoteaccess Docker container:
docker stop remoteaccess
- Back up the server.xml file allowing the VM Access Proxy to install the new server.xml:
sudo mv /var/data/conf/server.xml /var/data/conf/server.xml.pre_3.8
- Start the remoteaccess Docker container:
docker start remoteaccess
- Check if the keystore password is present in server.xml.pre_3.8:
sudo grep 'keystorePass=' /var/data/conf/server.xml.pre_3.8
When the keystore does not have a password set, there will be no output. Your upgrade is now complete. Otherwise, continue with the remaining steps in this procedure.
- The output of the previous step displays the keystore password like so:
keystorePass="myKeystorePassword"
Note value returned as you will need to edit this into the active keystore in the next steps.
- Working from /var/data/conf open the server.xml file using the nano editor:
sudo nano server.xml
- In the Connector section, locate the element that contains the keystorefile attribute. Add the following line, with the keystore password recorded in step 6. For example:
<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 443 -->
<Connector SSLEnabled="true" clientAuth="false" keystoreFile="${catalina.home}/conf/keystore"
keystorePass="myKeystorePassword"
maxThreads="150" port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" secure="true"
sslProtocol="TLS"
sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"
ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA"
/>
- Restart the remoteaccess Docker container to pick up the keystore password:
docker stop remoteaccess; docker start remoteaccess
Give the VM Access Proxy a few minutes to initialize, and then confirm the console connections are successful.
