Updating SSL certificates

Review the certificates currently used for server authentication on your Granta MI Pro application server, and replace or remove them, if necessary.

Granta MI 2024 R2 implements new certificate requirements for the MI Server API server certificate that allow the same certificate to be used for server/client authentication by MI Server API, MI Selection Service, and MI Material Calibration Service.

Before upgrading Granta MI Pro:

  1. Remove the existing MI Material Calibration Service certificate from the certificate store.
    MI Material Calibration now uses the MI Server API server certificate to authenticate client applications. A separate certificate, as documented in previous releases, can no longer be used.
  2. Review the MI Server API server certificate requirements listed in Required certificates.
  3. If your existing certificate does not satisfy all the requirements, install a new one as described in SSL certificate setup, and remove the original from the certificate store.
    There should be only one certificate in the Local Machine certificate store that is issued to the Granta MI application server with the purpose of Server Authentication (Enhanced Key Usage includes Server Authentication).
  4. Upgrade your Granta MI Pro installation.
  5. If you replaced you MI Server API server certificate with a new one, update the MI Server API server certificate thumbprint stored in the MI Server Connection tool and MI Service Layer Configuration tool.
  6. To configure MI Ansys Material Calibration Service to use the MI Server API server certificate, uninstall it and then re-install, selecting the MI Server API server certificate during installation. See Changing the certificate used by MI Material Calibration.
