[New IBM Tivoli Monitoring Related Section: Java Expired Certificates]

Resigning Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) client JAR file certificates.
Summary: Java certificates for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring portal client jar files have an expiry date. It's also possible to
encounter certificate issues (such as expiration or low encryption levels) at any time when you add other application
support packages to your environment. Adding support packages can be performed manually or automatically via the Self Describing Agent functionality.
When that happens, JAR files need to be resigned. You do not have to wait for the certificates to expire, you can have
your JAR files updated with the latest certificate at any time.
