Updating PCoIP Management Console Certificates after Endpoint Discovery

If your PCoIP Management Console certificate expires or you need to update your PCoIP Management Console certificate for any other reason, please follow the steps below in the order shown.

Note: It is important to update endpoints with their new PCoIP Management Console certificate before you update the PCoIP Management Console’s certificates. Otherwise, your endpoints will not be able to trust the PCoIP Management Console, and your profile update will fail when you attempt to apply it.

Step 1: Update Endpoints with the New PCoIP Management Console Certificate

  1. Ensure that all ungrouped endpoints are moved from the ungrouped category into a group.
  2. Ensure that every group (or at least one parent group) is associated with a profile.
  3. Update all existing profiles to push the new certificate to endpoints. For each profile:
    1. From the PCoIP Management Console’s top menu, click PROFILE.
    2. From the profile table, select the profile and click EDIT.
    3. Click the profile’s device type tab.
    4. In the SOFTWARE section, ensure that the right firmware version is selected for your endpoints.
    5. Click SECURITY in the left navigation pane, scroll down to Certificate Store, and select Set in Profile.
    6. Click Add New, select your new PCoIP Management Console public key certificate, and click Open.
      Note: This certificate must have a .pem extension.
    7. Click Upload.
    8. Click SAVE at the top of the page.
    9. Click PROFILE in the navigation link at the top to return to the main page.
  4. Apply the profile immediately or create a schedule to update your group(s) with the profile.

Step 2: Upload the New PCoIP Management Console Certificate to the PCoIP Management Console

Note: Uploading a certificate disables all PCoIP Management Console users and causes the PCoIP Management Console application to restart. Users will not be able to access the PCoIP Management Console for one to two minutes.

  1. From the PCoIP Management Console’s top menu, click SETTINGS.
  2. Click SECURITY in the left pane.
  3. Click UPDATE.
  4. Click SELECT CERTIFICATE, select the PCoIP Management Console’s public key certificate file (*.pem), and then click NEXT.



  5. Click SELECT KEY, select the PCoIP Management Console’s private key certificate file (*.key), and then click NEXT.



  6. Click SELECT CHAIN, select the PCoIP Management Console’s chain certificate file (*.pem), and then click NEXT.



  7. Click Apply.
  8. Read the warning message and then click APPLY.



  9. When the update process completes, click LOGIN to log in to the PCoIP Management Console again.

Step 3: Update Your DHCP or DNS Server

If your DHCP or DNS server is configured to provision endpoints with the PCoIP Management Console’s public key certificate fingerprint, this information must be updated next. You can update your server with your PCoIP Management Console certificate fingerprint as follows:
