\n\t\"The<\/a>On Monday, April 7th, the OpenSSL Project released an update to address a serious security issue \u2013 CVE-2014-0160<\/a> \u2013 nicknamed \"Heartbleed\"<\/a>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPA Server Monitor, PA Storage Monitor and PA File Sight all use OpenSSL as part of the internal HTTPS server.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn April 10th, we released version 5.4 of each of the above applications, which now use the patched version of OpenSSL \u2013 version 1.0.1g.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUpgrading to version 5.4 will install the fixed OpenSSL version which will fix the Heartbleed issue.\u00a0 With Heartbleed, it is possible that someone may have obtained server certificates.\u00a0 Because of that, it's recommended that everyone affected create new SSL certificates.\u00a0 If you are using the default self-signed certificate, this can be done most easily by:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tStop the monitoring service<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tDelete the CA folder in your product folder (C:\\Program Files\\PA Server Monitor, C:\\Program Files\\PA Storage Monitor or C:\\Program Files\\PA File Sight)<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tRestart the monitoring service.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tIt will take approximately one minute to create a new CA folder with the appropriate certificates.\u00a0 After the new certificates are created, monitoring will resume and you'll be able to connect with the Console.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
