What is the difference between a normal certificate and a trust certificate?

Hello Friends

 

What is the difference between a normal certificate and a trust certificate?

Say tomcat or ipsec with tomcat or ipsec trust certificates.

I looked Cisco docs and could get far with it. Could someone explain more on this.

 

Regards

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

As you have self signed certificates, CA certs are not needed and trust certificate will be there by default in CUCM.

Reg impact for ipsec cert, it impacts DRF (backup and restore). if this is expiring, you can simply regenerate and reboot the node in which it expired to complete the process. Please refer the below link for the procedure:

As tomcat you upload the certificate for the service itself, while as tomcat-trust the CA authority (along with any intermediate if any): The Difference Between tomcat and tomcat-trust

So what happens if we dont upload the trust one? What will be the impact. 

You will not be able to up load the (tomcat) certificate as the CA (and intermediate) certificates will no be present in the server's trust store. You will have to upload those first.

Thank you for the reply. What I wanted to know is what if I won't upload any of those certs and what type of impact will be there. Say I am getting an alert for ipsec.der certificate gonna expire. What should I do here since it is a self signed certificate. Just regenerate it or request csr and go through the process?

If your requirements have not changed (i.e. if you still don't need CA signed certificates) you may as well regenerate the (tomcat/ipsec-trust) self-signed certificates.
