Hi Team, 

By default skupper uses multiple CA certificates generated by its own private CA. Theses certificates has expiry date mentions. My question is how can I renew these certificates before it expires? Or does Skupper renews them automatically and no manual intervention is required. 

Thanks.

At present the expiration is 5 years from creation. There is no automatic renewal in place yet, however that will come in a future release.

Thank you for your response. Do we have a procedure to manually update or change a CA certificate?

Thanks & Regards.......

You can also use the cli to do `skupper revoke-access` . That will create a new CA. All previously generate certificates will be invalid thereafter, so you will need to relink all the sites that link to that one.

Hi, 

Recreating site and revoking access, both need system outage. Which I can not afford in production environment. Also I will have multiple services exposed, I have to expose all those services again. 

Do we have any procedure which can avoid disruptions? 


Thanks & Regards.......

Skupper does not itself yet offer anything further to help. You can of course use openssl or some other tool to recreate the certificate using the existing private key, and then update the secret accordingly.
