migration of SIM 4 certificate

[Bruce_79]

Is there a way to migrate an existing SIM 4 CMS certficate to a new CMS so nodes already set up to trust the old CMS will trust the NEW CMS? This is condensed version of a inquiry from the field. The actual inquiry is attached.

3 Scenarios:

1. New CMS is built and old CMS is still active: Build new CMS. Go to the agent on one machine that trusts the old CMS and go to Settings-->HTTP Options and request a new certificate from the new CMS (multiple certificates can be held by the agents). Use 'Replicate Agent Config' on the old CMS to replicate the settings from that one station containing the new certificate to all of the rest of the stations. Now both CMS servers are trusted, using their unique certificates.

2. New CMS is built after old CMS is taken out of service: Use 'Replicate Agent Config' to change the trust mode to trust by name and use the name of the new CMS. Build new CMS and then use it to 'Replicate...' with the new certificate.

3. 3rd Party Certificate: import into the new CMS just like you did the first time.
