Certificate Update Utility 

Starting in Sierra 6.6, a new updatecert script is the supported utility for updating SSL/TLS certificates across Sierra environments. Library administrator and Clarivate staff can install new certificates on the:

  • Application server

  • Database server

  • Encore server

After replacing the appropriate certificate and key files, the script also restarts the relevant applications/services automatically.

Installing new certificate on the Application server (local certificate update)

To install new certificate on the App server:

  1. In the command line, call:

    iiictl updatecert <path-to-new-certificate>

    Certificates on the current machine (typically the App server) are updated and services are restarted.

Installing new certificate on the Database server (remote DB server certificate update)

To install new certificate on the Database server:

  1. In the command line, call:

    iiictl updatecert -d <path-to-new-certificate>

    Certificates on the database server are updated and necessary services are restarted.

Installing new certificate on the Encore server (remote Encore server certificate update)

To install new certificate on the Encore server:

  1. In the command line, call:

    iiictl updatecert -e <path-to-new-certificate>
