Self-signed certificates
On machines running Windows, if the certificate location contains no server certificate, a self-signed
server certificate is automatically generated and installed during the installation of any Acronis
component except Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console.
If the machine is renamed after its self-signed certificate was generated, the certificate cannot be
used and you will need to generate a new one.
To generate a new self-signed certificate

Log on as a member of the Administrators group.

In the
Start
menu, click
Run
, and then type:
cmd
3.
Run the following command (note quotation marks):
"%CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\Utils\acroniscert" --reinstall
4.
Restart Windows, or restart the running Acronis services.
Non-self-signed certificates
You have the option to use trusted third-party certificates or certificates created by your
organization's CA as an alternative to self-signed certificates, by using Acronis Certificate Command-
line Utility.
To install a third-party certificate
