Cross-sign your CA certificate with the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file provided by Internet Access for use by Internet Access Gateways.

Internet Access allows administrators to cross-sign your organization's own CA certificate with the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file provided by Trend Micro, and upload the cross-signed certificate on the Trend Vision One management console. Cross-signing the CA certificate establishes a trusted relationship between the Trend Micro CA certificate and your organization's own CA certificate.
Note
Note
Internet Access provides different CSR files for the cloud gateway and on-premises gateways.

Procedure

  1. Check the following:
    • Your organization's CA certificate and the corresponding CA private key and its passphrase are already available.
    • The Path Length Constraint in your organization's CA certificate is set to None, so that there is no restriction on the CA certificates down in the hierarchy.
    • The administrator has a basic knowledge of openssl commands.
  2. Go to Zero Trust Secure Access → Secure Access Configuration → Internet Access Configuration.
  3. Click the HTTPS Inspection tab.
  4. Click the Settings gear icon in the upper right.
  5. Click Download CSR and select the gateway type to download the corresponding CSR file to your local machine.
  6. Create a folder on your local machine and specify a name for the folder, for example, CrossSignIAGCA_cloud for the cloud gateway, CrossSignIAGCA_onprem for the on-premises gateway.
    Note
    Note
    The names of the folders and files created in this section are customizable.
  7. Go to the newly created folder.
  8. Create a subfolder named newcerts.
  9. Create an empty file named certindex.
  10. Create a file, copy and paste the following text, and then save it as serialfile in the folder that you created in step 6:
    a000
  11. Move the downloaded CSR file to the folder that you created in step 6, and rename it to iag_ca.csr.
  12. Create a file, copy and paste the following text into the file, and then save it as a configuration file named myca.conf in the folder that you created in step 6:
    [ca]
default_ca = rootca

[crl_ext]
#issuerAltName=issuer:copy  #this would copy the issuer name to altname
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always

[rootca]
new_certs_dir = newcerts
unique_subject = no
certificate = root.cer  #Your organization's CA certificate
database = certindex
private_key = root.key  #Your organization's CA private key
serial = serialfile
default_days = 3660     #Should be at least two years from the date of cross-signing
default_md = sha256     #sha256 is required.
policy = myca_policy
x509_extensions = myca_extensions

[ myca_policy ]
countryName = optional
stateOrProvinceName = optional
localityName = optional
organizationName = supplied
organizationalUnitName = optional
commonName = supplied
emailAddress = optional

[ myca_extensions ]     #These extensions are required.
basicConstraints = CA:true
subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always
keyUsage = keyCertSign, cRLSign
  13. Run the following command to cross-sign your organization's CA certificate using the CSR file:
    openssl ca -batch -config myca.conf -notext -days 7320 -in iag_ca.csr -out iag_ca.cer
    A cross-signed certificate named 0A.pem is generated under folder newcerts.
