Importance: High Priority
Summary:
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, January 27th, 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.
These new broker/server certificates for Eurex Repo F7 API will be installed in Production on the early morning of Saturday, January 27th, 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 January 27th, 2024.
After the change of the broker/server certificates Eurex Repo will offer a connection test window on Saturday, January 27th, 2024, between 10:00 am and noon 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 December 2023 in Simulation and in Advanced Simulation.
Please download the new broker/server certificates for production for the Eurex Repo Member Section by following this path:
DBAG Member Section > Resources > Eurex Repo > System Documentation > Access and Certificates.
- “F7_BrokerCertsProd_20240127.zip"
These are the Production F7 API broker/server certificates for Internet and leased line to import into your truststore, as of January 27th, 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.crt –keystore <PATH TO YOUR TRUSTSTORE> -alias f7apiserver2024prod
- keytool –import –file prod-f7-api_vpn_eurexrepo_com.crt –keystore <PATH TO YOUR TRUSTSTORE> -alias f7apivpnserver2024prod
See chapter 8.1 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 January 27th, 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 January 27th, 2024.
Additionally both ZIP files contain the trusted root certificate and the intermediate certificate of the signing certificate authority DigiCert, version G2 (also available here) to be used in case a client hasn't received these automatically via OS updates. See this article for details.
