Generating System Manager identity certificates

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

About this task

Use this procedure to generate System Manager security identity certificates.

Avaya Aura® Device Services does not accept a generated System Manager certificate if:

  • The certificates contains an unsupported critical extension.

  • The certificate expired.

  • The start date of the certificate is in the future.

Avaya Aura® Device Services displays a warning message if the generated certificate cannot be imported. To fix the issue, contact the System Manager administrator.

This procedure is not applicable if you use Avaya Aura® Device Services in an environment without Avaya Aura®.

Procedure

  1. Click the SMGR Certificates tab.

    The System Manager Address, System Manager HTTPS Port, and Common Name fields are automatically populated and cannot be modified from the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal. You can use the Avaya Aura® Device Services configuration utility to modify this information if required. The configuration utility is described in Deploying Avaya Aura® Device Services.

  2. In the Node Address drop-down menu, do one of the following to generate a certificate:

    • Choose a node for a cluster configuration.

      If you choose the All Cluster Nodes option, certificates will be generated automatically for all cluster nodes.

    • Keep the default setting for a standalone configuration.

  3. In System Manager Enrollment Password, type the enrollment password as defined on the System Manager web console.
  4. Click Generate Certificates to start requesting certificates from System Manager.
  5. Restart the Avaya Aura® Device Services after the certificates are generated.

    This completes all the certificate updates. For cluster environment, only the remote node is restarted.
