Hello,

In order for the Agents to connect to the server, the certificates need to match.

If you exported your CA from the original server when it was running, you can now import it and the Agents will connect.

If you did not, the Agents won't connect. You need to reinstall the Agents with a new certificate, signed by the current server's CA.

If i have taken old cerificate from previous ERA then wht is the procedure to re apply that certificate in Newly installed ERA?

If you go to Admin > Certificates > Certification Authorities, you can click on Actions > Import Public Key.

After importing the CA, the agents will continue to connect (as their certificate was signed by a CA which is now present on the server), provided the server's hostname or IP address configured at the agent will point to the machine where the server is currently installed.

At this point, you can create a new certificate signed by the CA that was created during the new server's installation and then create a policy for all your agents in which you will change their certificate to the new one.

This last step is optional - as long as you keep the previous CA imported, the agents will continue to connect. You will just not be able to create new certificates with the imported CA, only using the new CA.
