Changing Device date/time

Introduction

The connector can only work when the device date/time is correctly set. This is due to the security applied on exchanged tokens and keys.

When a connector has been installed on a device, at a moment which is in the past (other day/time), this results in the connector not working, even though the date/time has been set correctly on the system (post-installation).

Solution

To solve this problem the followin steps need to be executed:

• remove all device related keys

• restart the connector

Windows

Go to the installation folder of the connector:

%localappdata%/Trust1Connector

Delete all security relate files (selected below):

Those files are:

• device.priv

• device.pub

• device_der.priv

• device_der.pub

• device_x509_der.pub

• ds-ssl.json

• ds-txs.bck

Restart the connector by executing the 't1c-launch'

The process will be stopped, and restarted. The 't1c-launch' process must stop running, and the new processes will trigger the re-generation of the new keys.

Due to this action, the device performs a new registration to the Distribution service, this can be verified in the api.log file (in the /Logs folder)

Mac OSX

Go to the installation folder of the connector:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Trust1Team/Trust1Connector/

Open the folder in finder:

open .

Delete all security relate files (selected below):

Those files are:

• device.priv

• device.pub

• device_der.priv

• device_der.pub

• device_x509_der.pub

• ds-ssl.json

• ds-txs.bck

Use the terminal to open the connector installation folder:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Trust1Team/Trust1Connector

Execute the t1c-launch to restart

./t1c-launch --restart

The process will be stopped, and restarted. The 't1c-launch' process must stop running, and the new processes will trigger the re-generation of the new keys.

Due to this action, the device performs a new registration to the Distribution service, this can be verified in the api.log file (in the /Logs folder)
