Replacing an expired root certificate

Before a network device can access the NES Administrator Console and the Nymi Band Application, a valid root CA certificate must exist in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

While logged into the network device as a local administrator, use the certlm application to import the root CA certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. For example, on Windows 10, perform the following steps:

1. In Control Panel, select Manage Computer Certificates.

2. In the certlm window, right-click Trusted Root Certification Authorities and select All Tasks > Import. The following figure shows the certlm window.

6. On the Certificate Store screen, accept the default value Place all certificates in the following store with the value Trusted Root Certification Authorities click Next.

7. On the Completing the Certificate Import Wizard screen, click Finish.

You must replace the certificate on the NES host and all network devices that communicate with the NES host.
