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.
To change the certificate on Windows:
1. Go to the %MGR_DIST%\Tools directory.
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.
To change the certificate on Linux:
1. Go to the [Install_Dir]/install directory directory and run the following command:
eval ‘./usersvars.sh‘
IMPORTANT: The quotes in the example must be entered as left single quotes.
2. Go to the following directory:
[Install_Dir]/Tools
where [Install_Dir] is the directory into which you installed the management server.
