Ensure that the CA-signed certificates are present for Both Filr and Search Appliance and that they are the same. For more information, see Certificate Maintenance.
If the certificates are not the same, then the user must export the self-signed certificate from Search Appliance and import that certificate to Filr. For more information, see Exporting a Self-Signed Certificate and Importing the Root Certificate into the Java Keystore.
Ensure that both Filr Server and Search Appliance version is 24.4 or later to establish secured communication. Also, ensure secure communication is enabled in both Filr Server and Search Appliance.
By default, the communication between the Filr Server and the Search Appliance is only authenticated and not encrypted. A switch is created to implement encrypted RMI communication between Filr Server and Search Appliance.
To encrypt the communication between Filr and Search appliance, add the following to the properties file:
Stop Filr service on all Filr Nodes.
Add lucene.rmi.ssl.enabled=true to lucene-server-ext.properties file in the lucene server (search server).
Restart the Search Service.
Add lucene.rmi.ssl.enabled=true to ssf-ext.properties file in all in the Filr Nodes.
Start the Filr Services.
