    Hi,

    Although I have very little knowledge of certificates, I have renewed them in Pfsense previously without issue.

    However, the following one has no reissue/renew option.............

    446527f6-6f1d-4d42-8e68-224007a16072-image.png

    Can someone please give me a clue as to how to renew this please?

    Regards
    Steve

      It looks like that has been imported. It shows an external CA. In that case pfSense cannot renew it without the CA to create it.

      You will probably need to re-issue it on whatever device has the CA cert and key.

        This is an external certificate. This cannot be renewed on pfSense.
        You might have imported it before.

        You can only renew certificates, whis you habe generated on pfSense.

          @stevencavanagh Since it’s for pfSense.home.arpa you can just create a new one, then use that.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            Had a feeling I could not just renew it.

            @SteveITS said in Renew Certificate Issue:

            How is that done?
