There is a new screen in rhui-manager used to regenerate the identity certificate. The identity certificate will need to be regenerated if it ever expires. Starting with 2.0.1, the user is prompted for how many days the certificate will be valid for, with a default of 3650. However, with 2.0, it was hardcoded to expire after 365 days. From the home rhui-manager menu, there's a new option for this new screen: i manage identity certificate Pressing 'i' takes you to the new screen: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -= Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool =- -= Identity Certificate Management =- g generate a new identity certificate Connected: ec2-107-20-207-64.compute-1.amazonaws.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pressing 'g' (the only option): rhui (identity) => g Generating a new RHUI identity certificate will replace the one currently stored at /etc/pki/rhui/identity.crt. Proceed? [y/n]: y Enter the number of days the RHUI identity certificate will be valid. If the identity certificate ever expires, it will need to be regenerated using rhui-manager [Default: 3650]: ...............+++ .........+++ Successfully regenerated RHUI Identity certificate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verified at stage with following link: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.0/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Identity_Certificates.html Under "Procedure 9.1. Generate a New Identity Certificate" ==> step4 >> The new identity certificate will be created. You should restart the service >> to pick up the changes: I'm not sure if we need to restart any service to pick up the changes. if it is not required then we need to remove this statement. James, could you please help to clarify this ?
It's fine telling them to restart services. It's probably not strictly required at this point, but it's not going to hurt anything.
