Regenerate the security key of an existing tunnel

You can regenerate the security key of an existing application tunnel and update it in your self-managed instance. This is useful if your key gets compromised or when your security policies require that you revoke API keys on a regular basis.

Before you begin

You can also automate this process by using APIs. For more info, see Set up automatic key rotation.
