Quickly build self-signed certificates for Oracle GoldenGate 18c

With Oracle GoldenGate Microservices 12c and 18c, the architecture can be configured to use SSL certificates for securing and replicating between sites. This is a huge improvement for securing the replication framework and makes it a lot simpler to replicate data over standard HTTPS ports.

In order to configure Oracle GoldenGate 12c/18c Microserivces with SSL certificates, you either have to generate a self-signed certificate or bring your own certificate (BYOC) to use. This also requires you to build an Oracle Wallet to store the certificates in. Additionally, to secure both sides of the replication environment within a Microservices environment; the wallet is required to be copied to any other environment where you will be replicating to or from.

In this post, I’m providing you with a simple python script that will build the Self-Signed Certificates needed for testing purposes. By using this overly-simplified, script you assume responsibility of using the generated certificates.

For more details on configuring Oracle GoldenGate Microservices 12c/18c using Self-Signed Certificates, refer to the Oracle documentation for Securing Oracle GoldenGate Microservices (here).

My overly-simple python script is located here.

Happy Securing and Enjoy!!!
