Problem

How to manually update Secure Relay certificates after PassPort 2019 certificate renewal ?

Resolution


Once Passport is updated, the new root certificate must be manually configured in the UI (from the samples, where it was delivered).

6.17.3 SP3- Delivered in GA on March 28, 2019 - new root certificate delivered as sample
6.16.1 SP8- Will be delivered in GA on May 30, 2019- new root certificate delivered as sample.

This procedure should be applied when Gateway is used with Passport that was updated to SP20 (delivering the new certificate chain).

  • pelencpass encrypt_pass -encis test -encpwd System01 -saltf %p_database%\pploginsalt.dat -dkf %p_database%\pplogindk.dat -encf %p_database%\pploginpass.dat (where System01 is the password for the user system)
  • pelencpass encrypt_pass -encis test -encpwd secret -saltf %p_home_dir%\extras\PassPort\ppsssalt.dat -dkf %p_home_dir%\extras\PassPort\ppssdk.dat -encf %p_home_dir%\extras\PassPort\ppss.dat (where secret is the shared secret from PassPort)
  • pelencpass encrypt_pass -encis test -encpwd something -saltf %p_database%\ppcertsalt.dat -dkf %p_database%\ppcertdk.dat -encf %p_database%\ppcertpass.dat
  • peluconf set -s monitor security 3
  • restart Gateway

If Gateway is already registered in PassPort, it's enough to:
