# Replacing the key store and trust store files

Replace the key store and trust store files in the server's `config` directory to make the new server certificates take effect.

## About this task

Because the server still uses the previous `server-cert`, you must replace the earlier `keystore` and `truststore` files with the new ones in the server's `config` directory when you want the new `server-cert` to take effect.

## Steps

* Replace the `keystore` and `truststore` as shown in the following example.

  ```shell
  $ mv keystore.new keystore
    mv truststore.new truststore
  ```
