Updating registration certificates

When you register backup storage in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud or Acronis Cyber Protect, they exchange certificates that are valid for three years. One and a half months before expiration, you will be alerted about the expiring certificate in the admin panel.

Prerequisites

The backup storage cluster is created and registered in the Cloud Management Panel, as described in Provisioning backup storage space.
One or more registrations are added for the backup storage, as explained in Adding registrations.
Ensure that two-factor authentication (2FA) is disabled for your partner account. You can also disable it for a specific user within a 2FA-enabled tenant, as described in the Acronis Cyber Cloud documentation, and specify the user credentials.
If you have enabled login control for the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud web interface, ensure that the public IP address of your backup storage cluster is specified among the allowed IP addresses, as instructed in the Acronis Cyber Cloud documentation.

To update the registration certificate

Admin panel

On the Storage services > Backup storage screen, go to the Registrations tab.
Select a backup storage registration, and then click Update certificate.
Specify the credentials of a partner account in the cloud or of an organization administrator on the local management server.
Click Update.
On all nodes included into the backup storage cluster, restart the service:
```
# systemctl restart vstorage-abgw
```

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra service backup registration renew-certificates --username <username> [--stdin]
                                                      <registration>

--stdin: Use for setting registration password from stdin.
--username <username>: Partner account in the cloud or of an organization administrator on the local management server
<registration>: Registration ID or name

For example, to update certificates for the backup storage registration registration1, run:

# vinfra service backup registration renew-certificates --username account@example.com \
--stdin registration1

Specify the registration password when prompted.
