My client is running multiple Web Servers and Session hosts utilizing a commercial SSL certificate. That SSL certificate is about the expire. Has anyone seen a documented process for updating the commercial certificate on the corresponding GP 2013 servers that support a Web Client implementation. What happens to the solution if the SSL Certificate is not updated in time?

Personally I've never installed a scale-out farm with multiple session hosts, our Sessions Central Server and Session Host is on the same machine but according to Ian Grieve, our community guru on the web client, you'll need to install the cert on each machine as I had expected. As Richard mentioned, just run repair on the web client, it'll take you through the setup again.
See Ian's blog post below.
So I need to install the SSL on all GP Web Servers (Session Central Servers) and Session Hosts and then run the GP repair on all those servers selecting the new certificate? Can I install it on a some of my Session Hosts before applying to all of them so I can verify functionality or is this an all or nothing effort?
Instead of a new install, you can do a repair of the GP web client and you will get to the page that prompts you for the certificate. You can select the new certificate on that page.
If it expires and you don't renew it in time then you'll have to get an entirely new certificate and then run through the web client installation again and re-associate the new cert just as you did for the first one.
I ran into this because we used a self-signed cert that expired and thankfully we had just recently purchased a wild card cert a few weeks earlier for a different program so I just used that one.
Took a minute to run through the install again, sort of a pain to go through because I couldn't find a simple solution to just switch the certs, it's not as simple as just going into IIS manager and changing the bindings on the site.
