Note

If you want to create a certificate for a disconnected device node, see Creating a Certificate while Disconnected

Using the Device Console

  1. Access the Device Console for the device node for which you are creating the certificate.
  2. Open the navigation menu and click Node Management > Certificates. The Certificates page appears. Each Roving Edge Infrastructure device node's certificate is listed.
  3. Click Create Certificates. You can also click Create under the Actions menu (Actions Menu) (at the right of each certificate entry). The Create Certificates dialog box appears.
  4. Click Not Valid After. The date and time calendar appears. Select the date and UTC time wanted as the expiration date for the certificate, and then click Submit. The date and time you specify cannot exceed the maximum validity period of the certificate authority that is used for the certificate.
  5. Click Submit.

    The Device Console displays a message confirming that the request to create certificates for the device node have been successfully submitted.

  6. Click Certificate Actions under Node Management on the left side of the page to see the state of the request. The Certificate Actions page appears. Each device node certificate request is listed in tabular format. This page displays information regarding the certificate request, including the current action and lifecycle status.
  7. Click View under the Actions menu (Actions Menu) at the right of each certificate request entry to display the View Certificate Action dialog box. This dialog box displays a variety of information regarding the certificate request.
  8. If your attempt to create a certificate fails for a particular device node, you can select Retry under the Action menu to the right of the node.

The new certificate you created replaces the previous certificate in the affected nodes.
