Rotate secrets, key pairs and certificates

Recommendation
We recommend rotating secrets and key pairs regularly, or immediately if they are compromised.

Risk
Changing a secret or key pair does not take effect immediately. Changes are applied only when the configuration is next activated.

Secrets and key pairs can be rotated in the ALSAASPM-N-164.

It is not possible to amend an existing secret or key pair

Rotate a certificate without changing the private key

  1. Issue and downloaded a new CSR from the respective key pair.
