Hi all,
I've been trying to get SSL server-authentication to work on Vertica using generated keys. I followed this guide since it seems to give the most complete overview of the necessary steps: https://community.dev.hpe.com/t5/Vertica-Knowledge-Base/Using-SSL-Server-Authentication-with-Vertica-Validating-Your-SSL/ta-p/236965 .
I have generated the server key and certificate and used them to set the parameters SSLCertificate and SSLPrivateKey. I have also enabled SSL (EnableSSL = 1). Furthermore all the proposed checks seem to give the correct result.
Yet when I start vsql, I don't see the line:
"SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256"
indicating that the SSL is successfully enabled. When I require SSL using the -m require argument I get:
"could not open certificate file "/home/dbadmin/.vsql/client.crt": No such file or directory"
even though I just want to enable server-authentication. As far as I'm aware a client certificate is not needed in this case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong. It would be much appreciated.
