Instant Access for BYO uses a self-signed certificate by default and only supports *.pem external certificate. How do I replace it with a certificate signed by external CA (*.pem certificate), if required? | To configure the external certificate, perform the following steps. If the new certificate is already generated (the certificate must contain long and short host names for the media server), go to step 4. Create the RSA public or private key pair. Create a certificate signing request (CSR). The certificate must contain long and short host names for the media server. The External Certificate Authority creates the certificate. Replace <PDDE Storage Path>/spws/var/keys/spws.cert with the certificate and replace <PDDE Storage Path>/spws/var/keys/spws.key with the private key. Run the following command to reload the certificate: /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo
