For a minimal CD footprint, CCD is not a must option. The simplest option is to renew the certificate. we recommend you to write a script or scripts to execute the steps. We have provided the commands for the first and third steps.
Create CSR in PEM format
Here, the certificate’s Secure+ label is “kundentag3”,
> keytool -certreq -keystore cdkeystore.p12 -alias kundentag3 -file kundentag3.csr.pem
2. Forward CSR to Certification Authority (CA), which will create the public certificate
The customer must obtain this command from the CA.
3. Import Public Certificate
> keytool -importcert -keystore cdkeystore.p12 -alias kundentag3 -file kundentag3.cert.pem
Certificate reply was installed in keystore
