HTTPS Certificate renew

[miki7]

Dear SAS community,

we have VA 7.3

(SAS version: 9.04.01M3P062415)

installed in distributed mode. We have 2 midtiers with web apps.

Our https certificate is valid until half of next month. 

What steps from

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/bimtag/69826/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0nakjyj6hlqmvn11p9...

should we do to update to the new one ?

Thank you very much,

Michal

Hello @miki7,

in short, it is all the steps that are related to the new certificates. Assuming that the SSL certificates are applied only to the SAS Web Server, the steps would be:

- Backup and then overwrite your certificate, the chain (and the private key, if it was also updated) on the ssl folder on the SAS Web Server, keeping the same names.

- Backup your jscerts from the SASPrivateJRE on your servers (all of them, and optionally you can also backup the cacerts, just to be sure).

- Restart and validate the SAS Web Server (httpd only)

- Deploy the newcertificates (Root, CA, the server certificate) into the jscerts with the SAS Deployment Manager (SAS servers)

- Deploy the new certificates (Root, CA, the server certificate) into the jscerts with the SAS Deployment Manager.(SAS clients)

- Restart the SAS services: generally it should be enough just with the middle tier, but I would ratther recommend all of the SAS Services, including the sas.exe for LASR.

- Validate the SAS Content Server

- Validate your VA application
