Update Certificates
The 'Update Certificates' feature provides a mechanism to replace or refresh existing SSL/TLS certificate templates across the QuantaStor Storage Grid. This is a critical administrative task for maintaining secure access to Object Storage (S3) Gateway and HA-Proxy before current certificates expire.
Updating a certificate via a template ensures that the new security credentials are automatically pushed to all associated nodes and services in the grid, minimizing manual configuration and downtime.
You can only update or apply a SSL certificate if you have already configured an HTTPS Object Gateway or an HTTPS Load Balancer.
Type of Use Cases:
- Object Gateway 1 - Refers to Object Gateway Port 7480 (Instance 1).
- Object Gateway 2 - Refers to Object Gateway Port 7481 (Instance 2).
- HA-Proxy - Refers to built in HTTPS (load-balancer).
To update a certificate, follow these steps:
1.Navigate to Security > Certificates > Update (toolbar)
2.Select the Certificate Template you wish to apply.
3.Select the appropriate Use Case for the service to which you are applying the certificate.
4.Select the server/node that requires the SSL certificate update.
5.Click OK and wait for the task to complete.
Browser Test: Open a new browser window (or clear your cache) and navigate to your Object Gateway URL (Ex: https://node1.domain.com:8580). Click the "lock" icon in the address bar to verify the new certificate details.
