Generate the X.509 key pair and its fingerprint on your Mac machine that you upload to the Oracle HCM tenant.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Ensure that OpenSSL is installed. To verify that OpenSSL is installed, execute the command <kbd class="ph userinput">openssl version</kbd> on the terminal.

## Procedure

1. Open the terminal.
2. To generate the private key, run the command <kbd class="ph userinput">openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048</kbd>.  
   The private key is generated.
3. To generate the public key, run the command <kbd class="ph userinput">openssl req -new -x509 -key private.key -out publickey.cer -days 365</kbd>.
4. Enter the information.  
   The public key is generated.
5. To generate the fingerprint, execute the command <kbd class="ph userinput">openssl x509 -sha1 -in publickey.cer -noout -fingerprint</kbd>.  
   The fingerprint is generated in the form of a hexadecimal value.
6. Convert the hexadecimal value to a Base64 value.
7. Copy the Base64 value and store in a secure place.  
   You need the Base64 value when you configure the connections and credential record on your ServiceNow instance.
