Renewing custom certificates

If you did not use cert-manager to generate certificates for your API Connect deployment, you must renew them manually.

1. Renew the certificates that you created:

   Use one of the following methods to renew the certificates that you created:

   • Update the secret that contains the certificate with your new certificate.
   • Delete and then re-create the secret with a new certificate.
   • Create a new secret (with a new name) that contains your new certificate. Update the appropriate API Connect CR to reference the new secret name.
2. Some pods require a restart after you update certain certificates. Refer to API Connect certificate reference to check whether any of the certificates you updated require pod restarts.
