You could have the recipe upload the certificate to a data bag? Then the others could download the certificates as they get updated.

Yes, I can do it. But how to copy the certificates built during chef run from one to other?

Could you drop off everything minus the self-signed portion using Chef and just generate the rest during the Chef run?

Thanks Tom,

we are using databags and files to store some certificates, but in this case I need to create a self-signed certificate using the FQDN and import it in cacerts of clients machines.

This is challenging me, how to do it in a secure way. I was trying to avoid create a trust relationship between the server and clients, just for security reasons.

Hey Eduardo, 

Methods that I have seen used in the past include: 

- Store the certificate in Chef managed entity (cookbook files, data bag) and have Chef drop it off

- Use Chef recipe to establish SSH trust between the necessary servers.

Hi Chef Community,

I am looking for a tip to handle with Tomcat7 certificates, basically I need to copy the Tomcat7 public certificate to other servers and import it in Java cacerts. The problem is that I dont´t have ssh trust between these servers.

Has anyone that had this problem before?

Any tip will appreciated.

Regards,

Eduardo
