Fix Recommendation

To replace the web certificate:
1. Prepare trusted certificate (pfx file).
2. Install the pfx certificate on the FLY Manager server.
3. Run the following command to replace the sslcert binding:
netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:<FLY Manager Port default:20100>
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:<FLY Manager Port default:20100> certhash=<THUMBPRINT> appid={b8a60d7f-c976-4416-b5af-f9e36cae4dae}
4. Update the value of the node "WebCertThumbprint" in the file …\FLY\Manager\Control\bin\TimerService.exe.config.
5. Restart "FLY Timer Service".

To replace the communication certificate:
1. Prepare trusted communication certificate (pfx file).
2. Install the pfx certificate on all FLY servers (agent and manager servers).
3. On the FLY Manager server, update the value of "CertThumbprint" in the file "…\FLY\Manager\Control\bin\TimerService.exe.config".
4. Restart "FLY Timer Service".
5. Log in to the agent servers.
6. Run the following command to replace the sslcert binding:
netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:<FLY Agent Port Default:20101>
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:<FLY Agent Port Default:20101> certhash=<THUMBPRINT> appid={b8a60d7f-c976-4416-b5af-f9e36cae4dae}
7. Update the thumbprint in the following config file:
"agentSSLThumbprint" in …\APElements\FLY\Agent\bin\AgentCommonVCEnv.config
"clientCertificate" and "serviceCertificate" in …\APElements\FLY\Agent\bin\AgentCommonWCFBehaviors.config
"clientCertificate" and "serviceCertificate" in …\APElements\FLY\Agent\bin\CommonDataTransfer.config
8. Restart "FLY Agent Service".

Check Contents

To validate the web certificate:
1. Run the following command to check sslcert:
curl.exe -vI https://<FLY host>:<port>/
2. If there is "The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted." in the output, this is a finding.

To validate the communication certificate:
1. Log in to the agent server.
2. Open the file "…\APElements\FLY\Agent\bin\AgentCommonVCEnv.config" and find the value of "agentSSLThumbprint".
3. Open the certmgr and find the certificate.
4. If the certificate is not a DoW PKI (or other AO-approved) certificate, this is a finding.
