How to generate new keys on ZTNA Connections (Edge Router)

Learn how to regenerate keys for connections with the Edge Router.

The main goal of this documentation is to teach you how to generate a new key to reconfigure your local connection with the Edge Router, if necessary.

Each generated key has a 48-hour validity period before it expires. After this interval, you must generate a new key. You can generate a new key even if the keys have not yet expired.
