  • 1.  Reconfiguring https on UMP

    Posted Jun 20, 2019 06:36 AM
    Someone tried to configure our UMP to https a few years back and generated a self signed wasp certificate.
    which apparently has expired now.
    How can I renew that certificate?What steps should I consider if I need to reconfigure https from scratch, where first I intend to get rid of existing wasp.keystore and then create it again

    You can not renew a Self Sign Certificate you can generate a new one.
    please follow the below instructions to reset the keystore and this will allow you to generate a new Self signed cert

    Thanks Gene

    I see that the generated certificate has validity for 1 year only 

    can we set the certificate expiration date somewhere

    Currently not with the cert generated by the ump.
    if you need an https cert for longer I would suggest walking through the process to get an SSL cert from a CA.

    We use Lets Encrypt (well documented on web how to do), and run a daily script (again many on web/encrypt's site) to check the if less that 30 days on certificate and automatically generate another csr, get it signed, update the current file.

    Works very well. You need the automation as lets encrypt only does free signing for 90 days.
