Custom Identity Certificate Expiration

Last Updated : May 17, 2021 |
Prolog information
When the identity certificate of the Experience Portal server is nearing it's expiration date, alarms are generated to notify the administrators that the identity certificate need to be replaced.
If a custom identity certificate for an Experience Portal server (EPM or MPP) does expire, the Experience Portal server will transition into one of the following states:
  • Not Responding: If the EP server is the Auxiliary EPM or MPP
  • Partially Running: If the EP server is the Primary EPM
The Experience Portal server will not be operational and secure communications cannot be established until a valid identity certificate is installed.
Secure communications need to be re-established on the Experience Portal server before a new custom identity certificate can be uploaded through the Experience Portal web admin interface. To do this, a temporary self-signed identity certificate must be generated on the EP server.
