Once the configurations have been set as desired, you will be presented with a summary page. Clicking Submit will trigger a stack restart as that is necessary for the configuration changes to take effect. All jobs will be stopped, but VDBs will continue to run.
A warning level alert is generated if certificates are expiring in 60 days.
