No upgrade recently. Was away for 11 days and came back to this problem. Unable to open anything under "Gateway & Servers" in SmartConsole.
Can you open GAiA Web UI on the Managment Server? And the Managment Server object in Console?
What is there stated for SIC? / WebUI : System Managment-->Certificate Authority
On management server CLI check cert expiration:

do you have access to the gateways?
Certificate Authority Status is Established on the Web UI for the management server. I can not open the management object in SmartConsole.
On the mgmt server I ran the command: cpca_client lscert -kind SIC
Not sure how to understand the output when I have several lines of CN names that are same. Here is an example for the same CN name for a gateway object:

Yes I have access to GW's trough Web UI.
hmm... what does
cp_conf sic state
on the gateways say?

Trust State: Trust established.
Hi Daniel,
Just wanted to update you on this case and thank you for your help. I found sk113744 which solved the problem. One of my co-workers got a "certificate revoked" error which lead me to this sk. I did not get that error.
Here are the symptoms for this problem:
Solution:
# cd $CPDIR/conf
# mv $CPDIR/conf/sic_cert.p12 /var/log/
# cpca_client revoke_cert -n "CN=cp_mgmt"
# cpca_client create_cert -n "CN=cp_mgmt" -f sic_cert.p12
# cpstop; cpstart
I will test this,I seem to have all the symptoms since even my sic status says "Established" and I have not had any certificates revoked.
Just to clarify,did you have the certificates revoked error? I didn't have that error but I seem to have all the symptoms
