Importing a New Certificate to MC

Use this procedure to import a new certificate into Management Console.

To generate a new certificate for Management Console, you must use the keystore.key file, which is located in /opt/vconsole/config on the server on which you installed MC. Any other generated key/certificate pair causes MC to restart incorrectly. You will then have to restore the original keystore.jks file and restart Management Console. See Generating Certifications and Keys for Management Console.

  1. Connect to Management Console, and log in as an administrator.
  2. On the Home page, click MC Settings.
  3. In the button panel on the left, click SSL certificates.
  4. To the right of "Upload a new SSL certificate," click Browse to import the new key.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Restart Management Console.
