Reissuing the certificate for OSMP Console

Most browsers impose a limit on the validity term of a certificate. To fall within this limit, the validity term of the OSMP Console certificate is limited to 397 days. You can replace an existing certificate received from a certification authority (CA) by issuing a new self-signed certificate manually. Alternatively, you can reissue your expired OSMP Console certificate.

When you open the OSMP Console, the browser may inform you that the connection to the OSMP Console is not private and the OSMP Console certificate is invalid. This warning appears because the OSMP Console certificate is self-signed and automatically generated by Open Single Management Platform. To remove or prevent this warning, you can do one of the following:

• Specify a custom certificate when you reissue it (recommended option). Create a certificate that is trusted in your infrastructure and that meets the requirements for custom certificates.
• Add the OSMP Console certificate to the list of trusted browser certificates after you reissue the certificate. We recommend that you use this option only if you cannot create a custom certificate.

To reissue the expired OSMP Console certificate:

Reinstall OSMP Console by performing one of the following:

• If you want to use the same installation file of OSMP Console, remove OSMP Console, and then install the same OSMP Console version.
• If you want to use an installation file of an upgraded version, run the upgrade command.

The OSMP Console certificate is reissued for another validity term of 397 days.
