Host server and security server certificates password update

For machines that have both the host server and security server installed, the Server Administration tool performs these tasks when it starts:

  • When the host server is running under basic or advanced security, the Server Administration tool checks the validity of the host server certificate password value in server.ini.
  • The Server Administrator also checks whether the password value for the security server certificate in security.ini is valid.

After a password value is detected as invalid, the corresponding dialog box prompts for specifying the valid password.

If both password values are invalid, then the Enter Certificate Password dialog box opens with fields for both the host server and security server certificate passwords.

When an invalid password is specified, an Invalid password for <Host/Security> Server certificate message is given.

  • After specifying the correct password and clicking OK, the Security Server Certificate Password field becomes uneditable, because that password value is correct and already saved.
  • If you do not know the correct password, then specify the host server certificate password or skip by clicking Skip.

If both passwords are invalid, then an Invalid password for host server and security server certificates is given.
