Removing Certificates

8Click Put to push the configurations.

9Click Close to return to the Appliances view, and then refresh the appliance status (Tools > Refresh Status).

NOTE

Strict authentication is available for ETEPs with software version 1.6 and later.

If you need to remove the ETEP from service and use it elsewhere, you need to disable strict authentication and remove all certificates and policies.

To disable strict authentication:

1In the Appliance Manager, right-click on the PEP and select Configuration.

2In the Configuration editor, click the Features tab.

3Clear the Enable Strict Client Authentication box.

If certificates expire or if you enable strict authentication before installing certificates, you might not be able to communicate with the ETEP from the management workstation. In this case, you can connect a serial cable to the ETEP and disable strict authentication from the command line.

To disable strict authentication from the command line:

1Connect to the serial port of the appliance and open a terminal session.

2Log in and type configure to enter configuration mode.

3Type management-interfaceto enter management interface configuration mode.

4Enter strict-client-authentication disable.

For example:

admin> configure

Entering configuration mode...

config> management-interface

Entering management interface configuration mode...

man-if> strict-client-authentication disable

For more information about using the strict-client-authenticationcommand, see the CLI User Guide for the ETEP.

Removing Certificates

When you remove all certificates, the appliance regenerates a self-signed certificate. This operation can be performed from the EncrypTight software running on the management workstation, or from a command line window. For information on using the CLI commands, see the ETEP CLI User Guide.
