The service agent on Linux servers: discovery of Nginx and Apache, the product packages, and your own scripts for PEM files as a custom agent.
What happens
- The service agent on the server fetches the task from the appliance over outbound HTTPS, port 443.
- The service agent finds Nginx and Apache on the server, and the product package for the service installs the certificate.
- For other services you upload your own script as a custom agent that runs on the server.
Technical details
- Connection
- The package runs through the service agent on the server. The agent connects over outbound HTTPS to the appliance, port 443 by default. You open no port into the server.
- You need
- The service agent installed on the server.
- Actions
- Depends on the product package or on your own script
- Template
-
custom-linux - Note
-
- The custom-linux template shows a script that writes the certificate and key as PEM files with owner and permissions and reloads the service. It is set to run on the appliance (runtime.location: appliance) and must be changed to runtime.location: target before it can be uploaded as a custom agent.
- Tomcat and WebLogic, which use keystores, have integrations of their own.
