Updating certificates without reinstalling the Oracle Central Designer software

When the web service authorization and deployment authorization certificates expire, you can install renewed certificates without reinstalling the Oracle Central Designer software.

The procedure updates the configuration files of both the web server and the job scheduler with the certificates you select and adds access to the private keys for the certificates to NETWORK SERVICE and DefaultAppPool users.

1. Open a command window.
2. Navigate to the <Designer Install Dir>\bin directory.
3. Enter Oracle.Designer.CertificateManager.exe and press Enter.
   A prompt to select the web services authorization certificate appears.
4. Click OK.
   The Certificate Browser appears.
5. Select the web services certificate, and click OK.
   A prompt to select the for deployment authorization certificate appears.
6. Click OK.
   The Certificate Browser appears.
7. Select the deployment authorization certificate, and click OK.
   Messages appear that indicate the progress of the tool.
8. Copy the public key of the deployment authorization certificate to a location from where it can be installed on the Oracle InForm server. For more information, see the Oracle InForm Installation Guide.

   Note:

   If after the new certificate is installed you want to deploy packages that were already deployed using the expired certificate, make sure the public key of the expired certificate is not removed from the Oracle InForm server.
