Important
After you submit the initial Administrative Enrollment form and the certificate is issued, the
form is no longer available from the administration port. If something goes wrong and you
are unable to obtain the administrator/agent certificate, you must reset a parameter in the
configuration file to make the initial administrative enrollment form available again.
To reset the Administrative Enrollment form:
1.
Stop the server instance.
2.
Go to the following directory:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/config
3.
Open the file
CS.cfg
in a text editor.
4.
Change the value of the following parameter from false to true:
CSgateway.enableAdminEnroll=false
5.
Save the file.
6.
Start the server instance.
7.
The next time you access the administration port, the Administrator/Agent Certificate
Enrollment form will be available again.
