Replacing CA Certificates

Scenarios

A CA certificate is a digital file signed and issued by an authentication authority. It contains the public key, information about the owner of the public key, information about the issuer, validity period, and certain extension information. It is used to set up a secure information transfer channel between the Agent and the server.

If the CA certificate does not comply with the security requirements or has expired, replace it for security purposes.

Prerequisites

  • The username and password for logging in to an ECS have been obtained.
  • A new CA certificate is ready.

Procedure (Linux)

  1. Log in the Linux server with the Agent installed.
  2. Run the following command to prevent logout due to system timeout:

    TMOUT=0

  3. Run the following command to switch to user rdadmin:

    su - rdadmin

  4. Run the following command to go to the path to the Agent start/stop script:

    cd /home/rdadmin/Agent/bin

  5. Run the following command to stop the Agent running:

    sh agent_stop.sh

  6. Run the following command to go to the path to the CA certificate:

  7. Run the following command to delete the existing CA certificate:
