Default VPN Certificate Expired

Nikos_Giannikap — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:40:41 GMT

Good evening to all.

I have an 1100 appliance in use for internet connectivity.

A few days back my VPN built in certificate expired not allowing me to have any remote access to my network.

I have tried to reinitialize the VPN certificate with no sucess, it still says expired any connection attempt.

Since this is a default option that never "expires" so to speak, is there any other known way to reactivate

this remote access vpn login procedure ?

i have read that the VPN certificate lasts for 5 years, as it appears on the device web management screen.

Your help or ideas, will be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Nick

Hi,

I had a similar issue with a 600 embedded smb device today.

Also tried to re-initialise the cert from the command line - it just gave a bunch of errors.

What worked for me was upgrading the device to the latest firmware and then changing the ddns name so that the device re-initialised the vpn certs.

Hope this helps.

You should be able to regenerate the certificates from the UI: VPN > Certificates > Internal Certificate.
This is in R81.10.08 build 1683.

I also have almost the same problem. on a cloud managed (infinity portal) SMB 1570 with firmware R81.10.10 (996002945), the VPN certificate is expired, and as it is connected to the SMP, I cannot reinitialize the internal certificate. every time I try, I get this error: Failed to reinitialize certificates.
The new certificate is there, but it is not healthy, and the VPN is not working.
A technician once told me that certificates on Cload-managed SMBs have to be managed only through SMP. I have done that, and the certificate is on the gateway, but not as a VPN certificate, as a cloud service provider certificate. At this point, the only way I can renew the certificate correctly is to disconnect the gateway from the SMP, renew the certificate, and reconnect it. But this shouldn't be the right way! It is not logical!
