    I restored a VM which run pfSense 2.5.0 to an other VM (different WAN IP, domain name, CN name). I delete all the certifications in order to issue new certifications based on new WAN IP and domain name but I can not delete a certification which "in use webConfigurator".

    How can I delete it or how can I re-issue with different CN name?

      It's in use by the web server nginx, the one that handles the GUI.
      So undo that.
      Visit System > Advanced > Admin Access
      The second option : 'SSL/TLS Certificate' selects the cert used by the GUI. Change that.
      Now you can delete the cert.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @gertjan I can't change that. It's the only one available option. So, I suppose that i have to create a new one and then to delete the old one.

          You have to generate a new certificat of type server and then assign it to the web configurator first. After that you should be able to delete in in the cert manager.

            You can make another one easily via ssh or console shell with pfSsh.php playback generateguicert

            That will create and activate a fresh certificate for the GUI and then you can delete that old one.

                Where is this new certificate ?
                It isn't listed:

                this one is the one you got on February 25 - some one month old.

                Edit : oops : Wed, 25 Feb was just a couple of days actually.
