Managing SSL Certificates
You can use lmvutil command options to create and activate pending SSL certificates in a Cloud Pod
Architecture environment.
The Cloud Pod Architecture feature uses signed certificates for bidirectional SSL to protect and validate the
VIPA interpod communication channel. The certificates are distributed in the Global Data Layer. The Cloud
Pod Architecture feature replaces these certificates every seven days.
To change a certificate for a specific View Connection Server instance, you create a pending certificate, wait
for the Global Data Layer replication process to distribute the certificate to all View Connection Server
instances, and then activate the certificate.
The lmvutil command certificate options are intended for use only if a certificate becomes compromised
and a View administrator wants to update the certificate sooner than seven days. These options affect only
the View Connection Server instance on which they are run. To change all certificates, you must run the
options on every View Connection Server instance.

Creating a Pending Certificate
You can use the lmvutil command with the --createPendingCertificate option to create a pending SSL
certificate.

LMVUtil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--createPendingCertificate
Activating a Pending Certificate
You can use the lmvutil command with the --activatePendingCertificate option to activate a pending
certificate.
Syntax
