Installing or linking a fault-tolerant agent earlier than 10.2 in an environment configured with new default or new custom certificates

About this task

If you install or link a fault-tolerant agent earlier than V10.2 to an environment with a master domain manager at version 10.2.1 or later using new custom or new default certificates, you need to manually install the certificates on the fault-tolerant agent. To perform the manual installation, you can follow the steps below:
  1. Shut down the workstation of the fault-tolerant agent
  2. Create a backup of the localopts file
  3. Create a new folder under the target fault-tolerant agent as in the following example: <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder>
  4. From the master domain manager, copy the files under TWA_DATA_DIR/ssl/depot
  5. Paste the TWA_DATA_DIR/ssl/depot files from the master domain manager into the <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder> new directory
  6. Update the localopts file of the fault-tolerant agent by changing the values of the following properties:
      • SSL Key: <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder>/tls.key
      • SSL Certificate: <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder>/tls.crt
      • SSL key pwd: <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder>/tls.sth
      • SSL CA certificate: <TWS_DATA_DIR>/<new_cert_folder>/ca.crt
  7. Turn on the workstation of the fault-tolerant agent.
