What is the difference between internal and custom certificates?
• Internal certificate: Any certificates generated by IBM QRadar
• Custom certificate: Any certificates that were manually installed by the customer
• Internal certificate: Any certificates generated by IBM QRadar
• Custom certificate: Any certificates that were manually installed by the customer
For more information, see Installing a new SSL certificate (www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.4?topic=certificates-installing-new-ssl-certificate).
How do you know if you have a custom certificate and if it might be reset?
If you followed the installation instructions at Installing a new SSL certificate (www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.4?topic=certificates-installing-new-ssl-certificate) to install any custom certificates and have not disabled the CA framework from monitoring the certificate, the certificate might be reset.
What might happen if you have deployed a certificate outside of QRadar?
If you installed a custom HTTPD certificate, then this could cause authentication errors when connecting to the QRadar UI. For more information, see Fixing the certificate security browser warning (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.4?topic=problems-fixing-certificate-security-browser-warning).
