Replacing the Identityd certificate with a self-signed certificate

To replace the Identityd certificate with a self-signed certificate,

  1. Go to the Administration > Appliance Security > Encryption Key Management page Local Credentials tab of this appliance.

  2. In the row for the Identityd SSL Certificate, choose Change Key/Cert from the Actions menu.

  3. Paste both the Identityd certificate and the private key into the Key/Cert field.

  4. Click OK and confirm that the Identityd certificate is listed on the Local Credentials tab.

Note:  Ensure that you include both the private key and the certificate with their BEGIN and END statements. If you paste in just the certificate, you will get a certification error.

They will be in the format:

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

MIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKcwggSjAgEAAoIBAQC7CkgI/yEMu0td

...

6Q1V08AwLd4fVrOGvmOeZKk=

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

MIIDVzCCAj+gAwIBAgIJAPy15+KVLMaXMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMEIxCzAJBgNV

...

xnRRtSStpDwBRwrPBX9wiih7X13I2n2Qs/c0Gh9OVhKqsmcoZmnHjCQrdQ==

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

If you subsequently view the Local Credentials, you will not see the private key. It is never visible except when you initially paste it into the Change window.
