Recreating Data Security certificates

From the Modify menu, you can also re-certify the server. In the initial authentication, the Data Security Management Server trades certificates with the other servers and endpoints in the network.

 

Important  When you perform the following procedure, endpoints that are configured to use HTTPS lose connection with the servers. To keep endpoints operational until you can re-install them, change the endpoint profile to allow HTTP before performing the procedure.

To re-run the security communication between Data Security components:

1.	If you have not done so already, start the Websense installer:

If you chose to keep installation files (see Keeping installer files) go to Start > All Programs > Websense > Websense TRITON Setup. This is starts the installer without having to re-extract files.

Double-click the installer executable.

2.	In Modify Installation dashboard, click the Modify link for Data Security.

3.	From the installation wizard, select Modify.

4.	On the Recreate Certificate Authority screen, select the Recreate Certificate Authority check box.

5.	Complete the installation wizard as prompted.

After recreating certificates, you must re-register all agents and servers (see Re-registering Websense Data Security components for instructions), and repeat the Reestablish Connection process for each agent and server.

Endpoints also need to be reinstalled, or they will not be able to communicate with the servers via HTTPS. Create a new endpoint package using the package-building tool, and use SMS or a similar mechanism to install the new package on these endpoints. See Deploying Websense endpoints for information on creating and installing an endpoint package.
