4. To define the expiration period (in days) of the digital certificate,
type a value between 30 and 3650 in the Expires in field. The
default is 365 days. Click Generate to generate a new certificate.
5. To define a renegotiation parameter (in megabytes) for the SSL
session key, type a value between 50 and 10000 in the Renegotiate
after field. The value defines the MB of data transmitted over the

session key. An SSL session key (not part of the digital certificate)
is valid only during the SSL connection, and is renegotiated per
the value entered.
6. Click OK to save and activate changes.
