Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8)
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

============================================================
Install/Update the StarlingX Rest and Web Server Certificate
============================================================
Use the following procedure to install or update the certificate for the |prod|
REST API application endpoints (Keystone, Barbican and |prod|) and the
|prod| web administration server.
.. rubric:: |prereq|
Obtain an intermediate or Root |CA|-signed server certificate and key from a
trusted Intermediate or Root |CA|. Refer to the documentation for the external
Intermediate or Root |CA| that you are using, on how to create public
certificate and private key pairs, signed by intermediate or a Root |CA|, for
HTTPS.
For lab purposes, see :ref:`Create Certificates Locally using openssl
<create-certificates-locally-using-openssl>` for how to create a test
Intermediate or Root |CA| certificate and key, and use it to sign test
server certificates.
Put the |PEM| encoded versions of the server certificate and key in a single
file, and copy the file to the controller host.
.. note::
If you plan to use the container-based remote CLIs, due to a limitation in
the Python2 SSL certificate validation, the certificate used for the |prod|
REST API application endpoints and |prod| Web Administration Server ('ssl')
certificate must either have:
#. CN=IPADDRESS and SANs=IPADDRESS
or
#. CN=FQDN and SANs=FQDN
where IPADDRESS and FQDN are for the OAM Floating IP Address.
.. rubric:: |proc|
- Install/update the copied certificate.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system certificate-install -m ssl <pathTocertificateAndKey>
where:
**<pathTocertificateAndKey>**
is the path to the file containing both the intermediate or Root
|CA|-signed server certificate and private key to install.
.. warning::
The REST and Web Server certificate are not automatically renewed, user
MUST renew the certificate prior to expiry, otherwise a variety of system
operations will fail.
