How to generate new keys (Edge Router)

Learn how to generate new keys for ZTNA connections

Each key is valid for 48 hours before it expires. After that, you'll need to generate a new one. You can also generate a new key even if the current ones haven't expired yet.

Follow these steps to generate a new key and remember to reconfigure your local connection with the Edge Router if needed.

1. On the Platform home page, click on Connectivity in the upper right corner.

2. The page opens in the Edge Router tab.

3. In the Registered column, you can see that the possible statuses for the key are:

• Yes: the key is registered and functioning.

• Pending: your key still hasn’t been registered. Once the key has been generated, you have up to 48 hours to register it. Otherwise, it will expire.

• Expired: the generated key has expired. You must generate a new key.

1. Click on the Key Icon at the right side of the page to generate a new key.

2. A new window will appear. Click Register new key if you want to generate a new key or Close to go back to the previous screen.

3. If you click on Register new key, you'll see the registration key code and an alert about its expiration time. Click the copy icon to copy the key, then close the window.

To register the Edge Router, run the command below in a terminal on the Edge Router, replacing new_registration_key with the key generated in the application:

sudo router-registration <registration key> --force
