## Symptoms

- * After changing the Security Management's Gaia Portal certificate to third party SSL Certificate following the procedure in [sk97648](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk97648), the Gaia portal still shows the default ICA certificate, when UEPM (Endpoint Policy) blade is enabled.

* These logs are found in the */web/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf* file after a reboot :  

  `
  [DATE TIME]: The next line is added/changed automatically by UEPM installation
  SSLCertificateFile "/opt/CPuepm-R81.10/engine/conf/ssl/sic_cert.pem"
  #SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/server-dsa.crt`

## Cause

Port 443 is used by the Endpoint Policy Server component to send monitoring events to the Management Server component. This connection is authenticated by SIC, and uses the SIC certificate.
