# Certify Log Servers

If the Log Server was not certified during the installation or if it needs a new certificate, certify the Log Server manually.

##

## Steps

1. Stop the Log Server:
   - If the Log Server is installed as a service in Windows, stop it in the Windows Control Panel’s Services list.
   - In Linux, run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgStopLogSrv.sh.
2. Request the certificate:
   - In Windows, run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgCertifyLogSrv.bat.
   - In Linux, run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgCertifyLogSrv.sh.
3. Enter the credentials for an administrator account with unrestricted permissions (superuser).
4. If administrative Domains are configured and the Log Server does not belong to the Shared Domain, enter the name of the Domain.
5. Wait for the certification to finish and start the Log Server again.
   - In Windows, start it in the Windows Control Panel’s Services list.
   - In Linux, run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgStartLogSrv.sh.
