Creating a server certificate
Users with administrative rights can create a new self-signed certificate when they replace the HP
SIM SSL server certificate and private key in the following situations:
• The integrity of the HP SIM server certificate private key is compromised.
• The existing HP SIM server certificate expires,
This self-signed certificate is configured to expire 10 years from the date of creation.
Create a new self-signed certificate when you must replace the HP SIM SSL server certificate and
private key. The public key is included in the certificate that goes out to the client. The private key
is kept secure in the keystore database on the HP SIM server file system. The public and private
key pair of the local HP SMH (on the CMS) is overwritten with the new HP SIM public and private
key pair.
