| Cause | |
| Resolution | Orbix SSL keys are stored in the applications certificates. These are controlled via configuration, updating these requires a restart. Hence regular changes to these are not recommended. If it is felt that the application requires further authenication of clients then CSIv2 should be explored along with the existing SSL configuration. This is a simple client authenication mechanism based on username and password. This can be extended with the Orbix Security Service. References to other documentation: Orbix Security Guide |
