Dear participants,
With this Newsflash, Eurex Repo wants to inform you about the renewal of the broker/server certificates in F7 production.
The following change only affects API/POA applications. The usage of the F7 Trader GUI and the F7 FIX interface is not affected by this change.
On Saturday, 9 November 2024, Eurex Repo will install new broker/server certificates in the F7 Production environment, as the current Eurex Repo F7 API broker/server certificates for Production will expire in January 2025.
These new broker/server certificates for Eurex Repo F7 API will be installed in Production on the early morning of Saturday, 9 November 2024.
F7 API client applications connecting to F7 Production will need to add these new broker/server certificates to their truststores to be able to connect to Production after 9 November 2024.
After the change of the broker/server certificates, Eurex Repo will offer a connection test window on Saturday, 9 November 2024 between 10:00 and 12:00 CET. Customer Technical Support is available during these two hours and customers can reach their TKAM via the VIP number or +49 (0) 69 2 11-1 08 88, per email: cts@deutsche-boerse.com.
The procedure to download and install the new certificates follows the same steps already done in October 2024 in Simulation and in Advanced Simulation.
Please download the new broker/server certificates for production for the Member Section of Deutsche Börse Group by following this path:
Resources > Eurex Repo > System Documentation > Access and Certificates
- “Production F7 API broker/server certificates for Internet and leased line to import into your truststore, as of November 9th 2024”
These new certificates, once extracted from the ZIP file, can be added to your existing truststore (using a new alias) for example by using commands like the ones outlined below:
- keytool –import –file prod-f7-api_eurexrepo_com_cert.crt –keystore <PATH TO YOUR TRUSTSTORE> -alias f7apiserver2025prod
- keytool –import –file prod-f7-api_vpn_eurexrepo_com_cert.crt –keystore <PATH TO YOUR TRUSTSTORE> -alias f7apivpnserver2025prod
See chapter 7.1 of the document “Eurex Repo F7 Connectivity Guide” (can be downloaded from the same location) for general details on handling broker/server certificates in F7 API.
The new broker/server certificates can be downloaded and added alongside existing certificates in existing truststores at any convenient point in time prior to Saturday, 9 November 2024.
Failure to download and install these new certificates will prevent API/POA applications from connecting to Eurex Repo’s F7 Production environment after Saturday, 9 November 2024.
Kind regards,
Your Eurex Repo Team
