Save, Reload, and Restart on UNIX

Saving your configuration and map files does not affect subsequent certificate validation requests until you either reload your settings or restart the service.

The following settings require a restart

AllowMD5InFipsMode
EnforceDODPKIMode
FipsMode
KeyFilePath
ListenAddress
LogFacility
MaxLogFiles

All other settings changes require a reload.

Note: Reloading the configuration also clears the internal in-memory caches used for downloading certificates and CRLs. Although certificate and CRL lifetimes are honored by the cache, it might be necessary to clear these manually if a certificate or CRL has been updated at its source before it has expired.
