Renew Key Alias REST Service
Use the Renew Key Alias REST Service to change the alias of a key present in the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager instance.
Note: The Conflict resolution REST services make significant changes to the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server that might impact its operation and the
communication with the storage device. Consider the following points before you run any of these
REST services:
- Plan and evaluate the changes that are required on both IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager and the storage device.
- Ensure that the changes are atomic, that is, the changes are done on both the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager system and the devices for key serving to continue.
- The REST services handle the changes only for IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.
- After changing the alias of a server certificate, you must restart the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server.
If this certificate is marked In Use, then you must first mark the certificate as In Use again, and then restart the server.
