Modifying ALM Data Warehouse server options
Use the ALM Data Warehouse Server Utility to modify settings for the ALM Data Warehouse Server in the local computer's system registry. You can set the HTTP and HTTPS ports and files to use for SSL certificates.
The data warehouse supports SSL and TLS for stronger security through HTTPS. By default, HTTPS connections use a self-signed certificate and the default Java KeyStore and TrustStore to secure communication between browsers and the ALM Data Warehouse Server. If you used the Java keytool utility to generate KeyStore and TrustStore files for your own SSL certificate, you can use these files instead of the default files.
1. Double-click ALM Data Warehouse Server Utility.exe in the ALM Data Warehouse application directory to start the server utility.
2. Make any changes to the server information.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| HTTP port | Data warehouse HTTP port number. The default port is 8080. Valid values are 0-65535. Enter 0 to prevent HTTP connections. |
| HTTPS port | Data warehouse HTTPS port number. The default port is 8999. Valid values are 0-65535. Enter 0 to prevent HTTPS connections. |
| KeyStore file path | Path to the Java KeyStore file that contains the identify certificate for the data warehouse. Click  to select the file. If not set, HTTP connections use the default self-signed certificate, which is stored in the ALM Data Warehouse application directory. |
| KeyStore password | Password used to create the selected KeyStore file. |
| TrustStore file path | Path to the Java TrustStore file that contains trusted certificate authorities. Click to select the file. If not set, the ALM Data Warehouse Server uses the default Java TrustStore. |
| TrustStore password | Password used to create the selected TrustStore file. |
3. Click Validate Options to validate the information. If validation fails, check the following:
- Make sure the ALM Data Warehouse Server is running.
- If you use your own KeyStore and TrustStore files, make sure the file paths and passwords are correct.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
Note: You must restart the ALM Data Warehouse Server for changes to take effect. See Starting the ALM Data Warehouse Server.
