Once the configurations have been set as desired, you will be presented with a summary page. Clicking Submit will trigger a stack restart as that is necessary for the configuration changes to take effect. All jobs will be stopped, but VDBs will continue to run.
The automatic restart described above applies only to initial Server or Client Authentication configuration. For certificate renewal, the system does not restart automatically. A manual engine restart is required for the new certificate to take effect.
A warning level alert is generated if certificates are expiring in 60 days.
Critical level alerts are generated if certificates expire in 14 days or have already expired.
