Note

This step is not required unless you change the AWSCLI.py script to enable certificate pinning. By default, certificate pinning is disabled.

Because certificate pinning is disabled by default as of the 22.3 release, the embedded certificate no longer requires annual renewal.

There are two different methods to create the cacerts.pem file.

From the Browser:

  1. Open your Idaptive instance in the browser. For example pod0.idaptive.app in Firefox
  2. Click on the browser's lock icon located to the left side of the URL
  3. Click on the arrow > then More Information to view Security information
  4. Click on View Certificate button
  5. In the Certificate Viewer, there are two buttons General and Detail. Click on Detail to view the certificate chain
Certificate typeCertificate example
Leaf certificate*.instance.idaptive.app
Intermediate certificateGo Daddy Secure certificate authority - G2
Root certificateGo Daddy Root Certificate authority - G2
  1. Click on each certificate to save the files in .crt format.
  2. Open the leaf certificate. For example: *.instance.idaptive.app
  3. Open the intermediate certificate, copy the contents, and paste it as text after the leaf certificate content.
  4. Open the root certificate, copy the contents, paste it after the intermediate certificate contents
  5. Save the file to the root directory of the script. For example where the AWSCLI.py file exists.
  6. Rename the file to cacerts_<tenant_name>.pem, replacing <tenant_name> with your tenant name

From the Terminal

  1. Run the openssl unix command. Ensure your_tenant is replace with your existing tenant.
openssl  s_client  -connect  your_tenant.idaptive.app:443 -showcerts  2>&1  |  sed  -ne  '/-BEGIN  CERTIFICATE-/,/-END  CERTIFICATE-/p'  >  cacerts_your_tenant.pem
  1. Open the cacerts_ your_tenant.pem file.

📘

Remember

your_tenant is a placeholder for your tenant value.

Copy the certificate text below, and append it to the end of the file.
