SSL Certificates Modifications

docuflow requires ssl certificates to secure communications amongst applications within the platform docuflow does provide the ability to create its own self signed certificates certificates are generated through the certificate manager application the following are execution guidelines for managing the certificates for docuflow regenerate and configure certificates after completing file modifications, such as those noted below, the following steps are required to regenerate and configure the new certificates for use with the docuflow platform stop all docuflow applications rename (or delete) the \<docuflow install location>\x509 directory e g x509 old start the certificate manager application \<docuflow install location>\start cert mgr ps1 upon successful completion, exit/stop the certificate manager application start docuflow close and open a new browser instance import the newly generated certificates; follow the existing steps here note it not required, but recommended, to remove the previously configured certificates personal > versafile configuration manager client trusted root certification authorities > versafile trex root ca modify the expiry length the expiry length for certificates is located within the \<docuflow install location>\config\trex certmgr application json file within the defaults validity object default value 3650 (units in days;

however, the application cnn yaml is inherited in each case as well a password configuration also exists for the client certificate, which exists in \<docuflow install location>\config\trex certmgr application json specifically exports privatekeys storepass object to modify a password, edit the trex certmgr application json file and edit the respetive yaml file, as required for example, to modify the password for both configuration manager certificates and the client certificate trex certmgr application json edits navigate to keystores keystore "trex cfgmgr keystore p12" edit the storepass object, e g { &#x9;"keystore" "trex cfgmgr keystore p12", &#x9;"storepass" "newpassword1", &#x9;"aliases" \["trex cfgmgr server"] }, navigate to truststores truststore "trex cfgmgr truststore p12" edit the storepass object, e g { &#x9;"keystore" "trex cfgmgr truststore p12", &#x9;"storepass" "newpassword2", &#x9;"aliases" \[ &#x9;
