Update Nirvanix CloudNAS Certificate

Submitted by admin on Fri, 12/21/2012 - 12:55

The CloudNAS® gateway utilizes SSL certificates for security purposes.  The current certificate that your CloudNAS uses will expire on 9/20/2011.  This means that you must download and install the new certificate before this date, otherwise your CloudNAS service will stop working.  Please follow the instructions posted at our Nirvanix Developer Center.  Niravnix has resolved this issue in a future release of the CloudNAS so that this is the only time this action is needed.  The Nirvanix team sincerely apologizes for this inconvenience.
