Changing the Hostname

The following procedure explains how to change the hostname and Management hostname of WSO2 API Manager (WSO2 API-M) as required for your production environment. 

1. Open the <API-M_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file and set the HostName and MgtHostName property as shown below.
2. Generate a key store by following the sub steps given below.

   1. Open a terminal and issue the following command to generate a key store.
   2. Specify a preferred KeyStore password once prompted.

   4. Enter the first name and last name as follows once prompted.

      *.am.dev.wso2.com

   5. Enter values for the other parameters as required. 
   Once this information is submitted, a key store is generated with a private key and a public certificate with am.dev.wso2.com as the CN.
3. Copy the generated self-signed key store (i.e., apimkey.jks) to the <API-M_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory.
4. Export the public certificate from the keystore and import that certificate to the  client­-truststore.jks  file following the steps given below.
1. Navigate to the <API-M_HOME>/repository/resources/security  directory.

2. Issue the following command to export the public certificate from the primary key store
   

   keytool -export -alias am.dev.wso2.com -file am.dev.wso2.com -keystore apimkey.jks -storepass <keystore_password_given_above> 

3. Issue the following command to import the certificate to the client­-truststore.jks file.

   keytool -import -alias am.dev.wso2.com -file am.dev.wso2.com -keystore client-truststore.jks -storepass wso2carbon
