Renew IdP certificates

Identity provider (IdP) certificates are automatically created when you install and have an an expiry date of two years from the time they were created. To renew IdP certificates, follow these steps:

1. Connect to your Splunk SOAR (On-premises) deployment using SSH.
2. Navigate to the /<PHANTOM_HOME>/keystore directory and create a folder and name it cert.save.
3. Copy all existing certificates listed in the /<PHANTOM_HOME>/keystore directory to the cert.save folder.
4. Delete all pem or der files in the /<PHANTOM_HOME>/keystore directory except private_key.pem. private_key.pem is used to decrypt the password and will not be updated.
5. Change directory to /<PHANTOM_HOME>/bin.
6. Update the current certificate files by running the following command:

   phenv python /opt/phantom/bin/initialize.py --set-auth-keys --force

The new IdP certificates are generated under the /<PHANTOM_HOME>/keystore directory and are valid for 2 years. If necessary, you can then copy the relevant public signing key to your IdP.

• If you use SAML, copy public_sig_saml2.pem to your IdP.
• If you use OIDC, copy public_sig_oidc.der to your IdP.
