title: Rotating IPsec Credentials
owner: Security Engineering
---

<strong><%= modified_date %></strong>

This topic describes the process Pivotal recommends to increase deployment security by
rotating credentials in the IPsec manifest. Your organizational security policy may specify
how often you should apply these changes.

There are two procedures for credential rotation described in this topic

* The first procedure describes rotating the instance certificate and instance private key specified in
  your IPsec manifest, and requires updating BOSH. This procedure does not include rotating the certificate authority
 (CA) certificate.

* The second procedure describes rotating your CA certificate in addition to your instance certificate and instance
private key. This procedure requires updating BOSH three times.

<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: The rolling deploys during these procedures result in minimal deployment downtime.</p>

## <a id="rotate-cert"></a>Rotate the Instance Certificate and Instance Private Key

Follow these steps:

1. Generate a new certificate and use your existing IPsec CA certificate to sign the new certificate.

2. Update the instance certificate and the private key fields in your `ipsec-addon.yml` file
 with new values from the previous step.

3. Run `$ bosh update runtime-config PATH/MYPRODUCT_ipsec-addon.yml`

4. Navigate to your Ops Manager interface in a browser, and click **Apply Changes**.

## <a id="rotate-CA"></a>Rotate the CA Certificate, the Instance Certificate, and Instance Private Key

Follow these steps:

1. Generate a new CA certificate.

2. Append the newly generated CA certificate under the existing certificate in your `ipsec-addon.yml`.

3. Run `$ bosh update runtime-config PATH/MYPRODUCT_ipsec-addon.yml`

4. Navigate to your Ops Manager interface in a browser, and click **Apply Changes**.

5. Generate a new certificate and use your new IPsec CA certificate to sign the new certificate.

6. Update the instance certificate and the private key fields in the YAML file with new values from above.

7. Run `$ bosh update runtime-config PATH/MYPRODUCT_ipsec-addon.yml`

8. Navigate to your Ops Manager interface in a browser, and click **Apply Changes**.

9. Delete the older CA certificate in the `ipsec-addon.yml` file.

10. Run `$ bosh update runtime-config PATH/MYPRODUCT_ipsec-addon.yml`

11. Navigate to your Ops Manager interface in a browser, and click **Apply Changes**.
