Perform the following steps to set the expiration dates
for the CA certificate and Web server certificate in IKYSETUP.
Procedure
- Comment out all instructions in "Part 3, Method 1" of
IKYSETUP. These are the instructions that calculate expiration dates
by adding the life spans specified in the ca_exyears and web_exyears variables
to the date that IKYSETUP runs. You need to disable these instructions
in order to set the expiration dates to specific dates. _______________________________________________________________
- Remove the comment delimiters from the sample instructions
listed in "Part 3, Method 2" of IKYSETUP. These are the instructions
that set the expiration dates to specific date values. You must enable
these instructions.
- Change the value of the ca_expires variable
to the date when the CA certificate should expire, in the format yyyy/mm/dd. _______________________________________________________________
- Change the value of the web_expires variable
to the date when the Web server certificate should expire, in the
format yyyy/mm/dd. Specify a date that is before
the date specified by the ca_expires variable. _______________________________________________________________
- Save your changes. _______________________________________________________________
Results
When you are done, you have set the CA certificate expiration
date and the Web server certificate expiration date that will take
effect the next time that you run IKYSETUP.
