Change Subscription Manager’s certificate settings

How Can We Help?

< Back

The certificate settings supplied during the installation of the Subscription Manager are encrypted and stored in the web.config file. If the Common Name (CN) of your certificate changes and you need to update the certificate details for Subscription Manager, you will need to decrypt the web.config file and make the changes manually.

1. Decrypt the web.config file

Follow these instructions to Decrypt the web.config file

2. Signing Certificate details

The signing certificate’s details can be found in the xmpro\xmidentity\server element.

     <xmpro>
          <xmidentity>
               ...
               <server signingCertificate="[email protected], CN=hostname.example.com, OU=org-unit, O=org, 
               L=city, S=state, C=US" ...>
               ...
               </server>
          </xmidentity>
     </xmpro>

3. Encryption Certificate details

The encryption certificate details can be found in the \xmpro\xmcryptography element:

     <xmpro>
          ...
          <xmcryptography>
               <aes encryptionCertificate="[email protected], CN=hostname.example.com, OU=org-unit, O=org, 
               L=city, S=state, C=US" ... />
          </xmcryptography>
     </xmpro>

3. Encrypt the web.config file

Follow the instructions to Encrypt the web.config file again.

Note: If you do not encrypt the file again, your password will be visible in plain-text. If you choose to leave the file unencrypted, be sure to uncomment the configuration section again (as explained in step 1 of the instructions to Encrypt/Decrypt the web.config file)
