Synchronizing and installing certificate in a multi-server deployment

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

A multi-server deployment can consist of one or more Avaya SBC HA pairs or multiple individual Avaya SBC servers. Use this procedure to synchronize and install certificates for each Avaya SBC server in the multi-server deployment.

Procedure

  1. Using a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY, start a secure shell (SSH) connection to each Avaya SBC individually in a multiple server deployment.
  2. In the Host Name (or IP address) field, type the IP address of an individual SBCE box.
  3. In the Port field, type 222 and click Open.

    A short delay might occur before connecting.

  4. To log in to Avaya SBC, use ipcs login and password.
  5. At the $ prompt, type sudo su and press Enter.

    The system displays a prompt to enter the password.

  6. At the password prompt, type the ipcs password.
  7. At the # prompt, type clipcs and press Enter.

    The system displays the CLIPCS console commands level, which is one level below root-level. For a list and descriptions of available CLIPCS commands, see CLIPCS Console Commands.

  8. When the system requests the key passphrase, enter the passphrase.

    If you used the CSR generation utility that is built into Avaya SBC, the passphrase is the password you entered in the Generate CSR screen.

  9. At the # prompt, type exit and press Enter.

    The system exits the program level and displays the $ prompt.

  10. At the $ prompt, type exit and press Enter.

    The system exits the secure shell session. You can also exit the session by clicking the Cancel (X) button in the upper-right portion of the window.

  11. Use the EMS web interface to restart the Avaya SBC application.
