  • 1.  Changing LMT Web Interface TLS cert by command line

    Posted Fri February 02, 2024 01:14 PM

    Is it possible to script the replacement of the ILMT web UI's cert ? I would like to switch from using self signed certs to using Let's Encrypt certs which expire every 3 months and can be auto installed by PS script

    Hello Stephen,

    It is possible to script such procedure (with PS, batch script etc.) except one problem: you need a password for the key_server.p12 file (License Metric Tool keystore file).
    Password itself is constructed based on master.tag file content.
    Unfortunately this is a public forum so I'll not be able to pass you the exact procedure to derive the password.
    You'd have to open a support ticket to us...

    Got the password derivation details from support and that was all I needed. Created a new pfx with the same password cntaining cert and key, and copied it in on top of the original key_server.p12, bounced the service and job's a good un !! Nice new shiny non self signed cert now in use !

    Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated

    Stephen
