Which action is necessary when environmental context requires an update to SSL certificates used by the proxy?

When an environmental context necessitates an update to SSL certificates used by the proxy, providing the proxy's SSL certificate in a specific directory is indeed the required action. This is essential to ensure that the proxy can establish secure connections with other services while adhering to the latest security protocols.

The process typically involves placing the updated SSL certificate into a designated directory that the proxy service references when initiating SSL/TLS handshakes. This directory acts as a repository for trusted certificates, allowing the proxy to verify the validity of connections it makes or accepts. Without this step, secure communication may fail, leading to potential security vulnerabilities or communication errors.

In contrast, actions such as restarting the OneAgent service, updating the custom properties file, or reconfiguring active monitoring settings do not directly address the need to update the SSL certificates. While those actions might be part of other maintenance tasks, they don’t specifically resolve the issue of SSL certificate updates for the proxy, which is critical for maintaining secure communications in the environment.
