Joining an existing compatibility zone
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
To connect to a compatibility zone you need to register with its certificate signing authority (or *doorman*) by
|
|
submitting a certificate signing request (CSR) to obtain a valid identity for the zone. This process is only necessary
|
|
when the node connects to the network for the first time, or when the certificate expires. You could do this out of
|
|
band, for instance via email or a web form, but there's also a simple request/response utility built into the node.
|
|
|
|
Before using this utility, you must first have received the trust store file containing the root certificate from the
|
|
zone operator. For high security zones, this might be delivered physically. Then run the following command:
|
|
|
|
``java -jar corda.jar --initial-registration --network-root-truststore-password <trust store password>``
|
|
|
|
By default, the utility expects the trust store file to be in the location ``certificates/network-root-truststore.jks``.
|
|
This can be overridden using the additional ``--network-root-truststore`` flag.
|
|
|
|
The utility performs the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. It creates a certificate signing request based on the following information from the node's configuration file (see
|
|
:doc:`corda-configuration-file`):
|
|
|
|
* **myLegalName** Your company's legal name as an X.500 string. X.500 allows differentiation between entities with the same
|
|
name, as the legal name needs to be unique on the network. If another node has already been permissioned with this
|
|
name then the permissioning server will automatically reject the request. The request will also be rejected if it
|
|
violates legal name rules, see :ref:`node_naming` for more information. You can use the X.500 schema to disambiguate
|
|
entities that have the same or similar brand names
|
|
|
|
* **emailAddress** e.g. "admin@company.com"
|
|
|
|
* **devMode** must be set to false
|
|
|
|
* **compatibilityZoneURL** or **networkServices** The address(es) used to register with the compatibility zone and
|
|
retrieve the network map. These should be provided to you by the operator of the zone. This must be either:
|
|
|
|
* **compatibilityZoneURL** The root address of the network management service. Use this if both the doorman and the
|
|
network map service are operating on the same URL endpoint
|
|
* **networkServices** The root addresses of the doorman and the network map service. Use this if the doorman and the
|
|
network map service are operating on the same URL endpoint, where:
|
|
|
|
* **doormanURL** is the root address of the doorman. This is the address used for initial registration
|
|
* **networkMapURL** is the root address of the network map service
|
|
|
|
2. It generates a new private/public keypair to sign the certificate signing request
|
|
|
|
3. It submits the request to the doorman server and polls periodically to retrieve the corresponding certificates
|
|
|
|
4. It creates the node's keystore and trust store using the received certificates
|
|
|
|
5. It creates and stores the node's TLS keys and legal identity key along with their corresponding certificate-chains
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can exit the utility at any time if the approval process is taking longer than expected. The request
|
|
process will resume on restart as long as the ``--initial-registration`` flag is specified.
