Hi Bernardette,

Greetings to you!

Find where you are using the old certificate and replace it with a new one. There are few places where a self-signed certificate could be used.

1. Identify Provider
2. Single Sign-On Settings
3. Installed Packages / Connected Apps

Please refer to the below links for more information:

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future. It will help to keep this community clean.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas

Hi Bernardette,

Generally, use the custom domain as the entity ID. If you already have single sign-on configured before deploying a domain, the base domain is the entity ID. If you are providing Salesforce to Salesforce services, you must specify the custom domain.

You can replace an expired certificate in Single Sign-On settings: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000330969&type=1 (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000330969&type=1)
