Utility Tools and Functions

Customers can now update their own ingress host directly in the config map using the updateIngressHosts utility below. If they are using an external load balancer and wish to modify the ingress, it can be done using the following command:

./appviewxctl updateIngressHosts --config .appviewxctl.yaml

On executing the above utility function, you will be prompted with the following:

• Enter the loadbalancer URL (Ingress Host):
• Enter the ingress port (default 443): - If you're using the default port 443, simply press Enter. Otherwise, enter the desired port number and then press Enter.

Customers can now upload/update their own istio certificates using the updateIngressCerts utility provided below:

./appviewxctl updateIngressCerts --config .appviewxctl.yaml

On executing the above utility function, you will be prompted with the following:

• Enter the full path to the Istio certificate file: - Enter the directory path including the certificate file.
• Enter the full path to the Istio key file: - Enter the directory path including the certificate key.

• If the entered certificate is due to expire within one year then you will prompted with Do you wish to continue with this certificate? (y/n):

The entered certificate file and key are placed in the istio_certs folder. The existing tls-credential secret is deleted and a new one is created using the entered certificate and key. The exiting istio ingress gateway and the istio ingress gateway pods are deleted. The istio ingress gateway pods are then recreated and once they are up and running the utility program ends.

The certificates can be verified on the browser as shown below.
