Hi Gurus,

I am setting up OAS 5.9 (3 environs - dev, test, prod).

Already configured SSL on dev using certificates.

Can i use the same certificates for test and prod ?

Please let know

Thanks

  • You could, as long as the 3 environments have the same domain/url.

    So it depends, but probably you don't want it.

    If your 3 environments are behind 3 proxies installed locally (so that each can resolve the same domain/url to the local instance and not mix the 3), sure it can work.

    More realistically: I doubt you want that, it will work only in a very limited and specific setup.

    You know the process to generate a certificate, sign it, deploy it because you just did it for DEV. Apply the same process for TEST and PROD again, so that each has its own valid certificate.

    Thanks Gianni, forgot to mention in question, here OS is RHEL 7, Dev is VM, Test and Prod are physical servers (if that affects your answer)

  • The OS/physical|virtual hardware doesn't, what could change my answer is if you did generate an open certificate covering all the possible subdomains (a wildcard certificate): in this case the same can be used for the 3 environments because the certificate will match the 3 different URL/domains (assuming they all share the same root).

    If yours isn't a wildcard certificate, take it simply as a "no, you can't reuse the one you have, it will give you issues at some point".

    We are still in the stage of setting up 5.9. So not considering upgrade at the moment.
