    Vorbereitungen

    Role required: admin

    Ensure that OpenSSL is installed.

    Prozedur

    1. On your Windows machine, copy the path to the bin folder under the OpenSSL-Win<bit> folder.
    2. Run the Command Prompt as an administrator.
    3. On the prompt, use the cd command to change the current directory to the bin folder.
    4. To generate the private key, run the command openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048.
      The private is generated under the bin folder.
    5. To generate the public key, run the command openssl req -new -x509 -key private.key -out publickey.cer -days 365.
    6. Enter the information.
      You can choose to leave one or more fields empty.Information fields on command prompt.
      The public key is generated in the bin folder.
    7. To generate the fingerprint, run the command openssl x509 -sha1 -in publickey.cer -noout -fingerprint.
      The fingerprint is generated in the form of a hexadecimal value.
    8. Convert the hexadecimal value to a Base64 value.
    9. Copy the Base64 value and store in a secure place.
      You need the Base64 value when you configure the connections and credential records on your ServiceNow instance.
