should be used only for test or demonstration purposes.

Prerequisites

You must be logged into the server as superuser. For more information, see

Accessing the

server command line as superuser on page 115.

1. At the command line for Avaya 3100 Mobile Communicator systems, change to the

certificate keystore directory:

cd /opt/mobilitygw-2.1/server/default/data

2. At the server command line, delete the Avaya 3100 Mobile Communicator Gateway

Administration Server default keystore.
