Hello,

Quick question: My gateway is already secured with a certificate and multiples clients are connected to it. But there is an error in the certificate and we need to regenerate it. Can I click “Generate CSR” without breaking the actual certificate?

Clicking that button will just let you download the .csr file, you wont be changing anything until you upload the certificate files.
