Resolution
When you create a self-signed certificate using the Secure Password Administrator sslkey
batch file utility, the default timeframe for the certificate is 360 days. The utility does not prompt you to provide any other value, but you can modify the default value.
To modify the expiration date of a self-signed certificate:
- In the
C:\Program Files\NetIQ\SPA\bin
folder, run thesslkey.bat
file. - Locate the following statement in the file:
set op=%op -validity 360
- Replace the 360 value with the appropriate value representing the number of days until the expiration date.
