8. Set up HBase REST API with SSL

Execute the following statement from the command line of the HBase Master server to create a keystore for HBase:

keytool -genkey -alias hbase -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keystore hbase.jks

Add the following properties to the hbase-site.xml configuration file on each node in your HBase cluster:

<property>
    <name>hbase.rest.ssl.enabled</name>
    <value>true</value>
</property>

<property>
    <name>hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.store</name>
    <value>/path/to/keystore</value>
</property>

<property>
    <name>hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.password</name>
    <value>keystore password</value>
</property>

<property>
    <name>hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.keypassword</name>
    <value>key password</value>
</property>

Restart all HBase nodes in the cluster.
