Introduction

  • SyncIQ encryption was introduced in OneFS 8.2. For more information about SyncIQ encryption, see SyncIQ encryption. Configuring SyncIQ encryption with self-signed certificates is only suggested for specific environments that may not have access to a Certificate Authority. Utilizing a Certificate Authority for configuring SyncIQ encryption is the best practice, as explained in Configuring SyncIQ encryption.

    Note: The Common Name value used for the server and client certificates/keys must each differ from the Common Name value used for the CA certificate, otherwise, the certificate and key files will not work for servers compiled using OpenSSL. When OpenSSL prompts for the Common Name for each Certificate, you must use different names.

    To configure SyncIQ encryption using self-signed certificates, perform the procedures in the following sections.
