Changing the Security Certificate to Match the Name of the Server

If your users are shown a Security Alert window with the following message, you might want to modify the security certificate so users feel more comfortable with installing the certificate:

The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.

You can change the security certificate so that users receive the following message instead:

The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view.

When you change the certificate, you must use the generateAppiqKeystore program to delete the original certificate, then use the generateAppiqKeystore program to create a new certificate and to copy the new certificate to the management server.

On Microsoft Windows:

2.To delete the original certificate, enter the following at the command prompt:

%MGR_DIST%\Tools> generateAppiqKeystore.bat del

The original certificate is deleted.

3.To create a new certificate containing the DNS name of the management server, enter the following at the command prompt:

%MGR_DIST%\Tools> generateAppiqKeystore.bat

4.If the program is unable to detect a DNS name, enter the following at the command prompt:

%MGR_DIST%\Tools> generateAppiqKeystore.bat <mycomputername>

where mycomputername is the DNS name of the computer

5.To copy the new certificate to the management server, enter the following at the command prompt:

%MGR_DIST%\Tools> generateAppiqKeystore.bat copy

The new certificate is copied to the correct location.
