# Updating the ads-truststore file to use the new key-pair

The server continues to use the old `ads-certificate` until you update the certificate.

## About this task

When the new ads-certificate needs to go into effect, the old ads-truststore file must be replaced with ads-truststore.new in the server's config directory.

## Steps

* To replace the old `ads-truststore` file with `ads-truststore.net`, run the command in the server's `config` directory:

  ```shell
  $ mv ads-truststore.new ads-truststore
  ```
