Title
SSL certificate renewal in Unix devices with the FlexNet Inventory Agent installed

This article provides step-by-step instructions for renewing SSL certificates on Unix-based devices that have the FlexNet Inventory Agent installed. This process is applicable to environments using Flexera One ITAM or FlexNet Manager Suite.

NOTE: SSL certificates cannot be renewed centrally through Flexera One ITAM or FlexNet Manager Suite. The renewal must be performed manually on each individual Unix device.

Instructions

Once you have obtained the updated SSL certificate for the beacon, follow these steps to apply it to the Unix device:

  1. Access the SSL directory
    Open a terminal and navigate to the following directory:
/var/opt/managesoft/etc/ssl/
  1. Replace the certificate
    Overwrite the existing cert.pem file with the new certificate you received.

TIP: It is recommended to regularly monitor certificate expiration dates to prevent disruptions in secure communication between the agent and the beacon.

Outcome

After completing the steps above, the Unix device will use the renewed SSL certificate for secure communication with the beacon.
