Perform the following steps on the Forcepoint management server to create (or re-create) Apache SSL certificates for the web protection management components.
Note that these are basic instructions for creating certificates. Changing the password on certificates is not included in these steps. Avoid changing passwords if possible.

Use the Windows Services tool to stop the following services:
*
Websense TRITON - Web Security
*
Websense Web Reporting Tools
2.
Review the Websense\Web Security\apache\conf\ssl\openssl.txt file to verify that it contains correct information.
If the IP address of this machine has changed, for example, edit the IP address in the openssl.txt file to match.

Note 
A batch file can be used to automate the tasks in Step 3-Step 8. See Using a batch file for Apache SSL certificate file operations. If using a batch file, run it, and then skip to Step 8.
