Image Artist: How do I update the LDAP CA certificate?

Updating the LDAP CA Certificate

Overview

This article outlines the steps required to update or remove the LDAP CA certificate after installation using the configure_webserver.sh script.

Prerequisites

• Access to the server where the LDAP configuration is managed.
• The new CA certificate file (if updating).
• Sufficient permissions to execute the configure_webserver.sh script.

Update the LDAP CA Certificate

To update the LDAP CA certificate, navigate to the Image Artist installation directory and then into the nginx directory

Use the following command to update the LDAP CA certificate:

$ ./configure_webserver.sh --ldap-ca-cert path/to/new-CA.crt --restart-sima --update-ldap-cert-only

Parameters Explained

• --ldap-ca-cert: Specifies the path to the new CA certificate file.
• --restart-sima: Restarts the Image Artist service to apply the changes.
• --update-ldap-cert-only: Ensures that only the LDAP certificate is updated without making other configuration changes.

Remove LDAP CA Certificate

If you need to remove the LDAP CA certificate without replacing it, use the following command:

$ ./configure_webserver.sh --restart-sima --update-ldap-cert-only

This will clear the existing LDAP certificate and restart the Image Artist service.

Notes:

• Always ensure you have a backup of the current configuration before making changes.
• Use the --update-ldap-cert-only flag to avoid unintended configuration updates.
