Purpose

This note provides steps to completely reset a cluster's certificates.  This would be used for example when the cluster is making use an unknown certificate type which is expiring or expired and it is required to reset the cluster to make use of the default self-signed BDA certificates on BDA V4.3 and higher.  This requirement differs from that detailed in:  How to Renew the Default Self-Signed Certificates on BDA V4.3 and Higher (Doc ID 2365807.1) where the default self-signed certificates on BDA V4.3 and higher need to be renewed because they have expired or are close to expiring.  It also differs  from that in:  How to Setup Certificates Signed by a User's Certificate Authority (CA) for Web Consoles and Hadoop Network Encryption Use on BDA 4.5 and Higher (Doc ID 2443887.1).
