Replace the SSL certificate of the Replicator Service

When the certificate of the Replicator Service expires, you must replace it with the new self-signed or CA-signed certificate.

Replacing the SSL certificate of the Replicator Service unregisters it from the Manager Service in the local and in the remote sites. To repair the registration of the Replicator Service to the Manager Service in the remote site, you must re-establish the trust between the cloud sites. For more information, see Re-Pair Cloud Sites.
