Managing Internal Keybindings

For more information about the concepts of Internal Keybindings, see the Internal Keybindings Overview page.

Actions

The following actions are available from the Overview page:

Option

Description

Enable/Disable

Marks the Internal Key Binding as Active/Disabled. Only Active ones will be used and processed by health-check.

Delete

Removes the Internal Key Binding, but will not remove the referenced key pair or certificates.

New keys

Generates a new key pair in the referenced Crypto Token using the same key specification as the current key has and an alias derived from the current alias.

CSR

Creates a Certificate Signing Request using the next key pair (or current key pair when no next key pair exists).

Update

Searches the database for the latest issued matching certificate for the next key pair (or current key pair when no next key pair exists) by using SubjectKeyId.

Renew

When the CA that issued the current certificate is active and resides in the same instance, this will create a new certificate using the same End Entity as the last one was issued with. If a next key pair exists, that key pair will be used.
