Certificate Customization

By default, the AppViewX Windows Gateway securely communicates with AppViewX using the server/client certificates that are shipped along with the AppViewX Windows Gateway installer. If you choose to use a different server and client certificate for authentication, then follow the steps below:

  1. From Windows explorer, browse to the location where you have unarchived the AppViewX Windows Gateway installer package.
  2. Rename the default server certificate “ServerCertificateGateway.pfx” as “ServerCertificateGateway-Backup.pfx” and client certificate file “ClientCertificateGateway.pfx” as “ClientCertificateGateway-Backup.pfx”.
  3. Copy the server and client certificates that you intend to use in this directory.
  4. Rename the server certificate file as “ServerCertificateGateway.pfx” and client certificate file as “ClientCertificateGateway.pfx”, and then replace the default certificates in the installation folder.
Note: While installing the AppViewX Windows Gateway, you will be prompted to provide the server and client passwords.
CAUTION: If the certificate is replaced, ensure that the respective password has been provided to add the certificate to the store. The incorrect password during the installation of AppViewX Windows Gateway will cause the Windows Agent installation to fail.
