Renew cert' issues
-
Hi,
Our PFsense box has basically gone into meltdown and i'm getting an alert every 10 seconds that the web cert is out of date. I have renewed the cert' but the issue persists, can someone advise please?

I have renewed the cert' but ...
.... when you used web browser, and checked the cert it was using, it was using the new cert ? The old cert ?
You uploaded a new cert ?
You generated a new cert ?
In both cases, you have to assign the new cert with the pfSense menu System > Advanced > Admin Access -
@gertjan Renewed existing self signed cert'. Where do i assigtn the new cert in Admin Access please? Had a look and couldn't see anything obvious.
Sorry, only have a little knowl;edge of PFSense.

Did you check in your browser what certificate it uses ?
And check the admin access part of the Advanced menu, as I already said.
You can assign the new certificate over there if needed. And the web server used by the GUI will restart. -
@gertjan It uses the self signing one by pfsense. The CN has the correct ID in it however web browser says invalid certificate. Rechecked cert and expires in 12 months time so is in correct date range.

Up to you to ask why
And then you find the reason :
So, why waiting ? Go for that Advanced button, at the bottom, at the right.
It's a self signed certificate.
Signed by you. Because you made it (with some tools present on pfSense).
And your browser doesn't know who you are - or, to be more precise, you didn't make that huge cheque to be given to author who created your browser.
Give them a couple of $ xxx xxx xxx.00 and your browser will recognize you, and your cert will be accepted.Or, do what we all do :
Now you can probably "make an exception for this site".And keep this in mind : the next time you re generate your Web Configurator certifciate, this error will pop up again, as your browser doesn't recognize this new, unknown, self signed cert.
