    Hi,

    I have master/standby topology, i dowload certificate on the master controller and us this certificyate in securtiy->authentication->L2 authentication, (the certificate name is the controller name, and master name is diffrent from standby name).

     

    I noticed that the certificate from master was not moved to standby,

    Can i import diffrent certificate to standby ?

    Is it problematic since i have database sync ?

     

    Regards

    Rafi

    Hey, you can check that the database sync is working as expected by running #show database sync


    According to the documentation only the WMS, Local User and CPSEC DB are sync'd (along with running configuration) between the two master controllers.

    Ok,

    can i add different license to the second controller,

    To do so the second controller must change his role to master is it ok ?

    Do you want the controllers to share licenses?  If yes, you should turn on centralized licensing.

    You must upload a certificate individually to each controller.  The controller certificate is not synchronized with database sync.

    Hi Colin,

    Fisrt thanks alot for your help :)

     

    Ok, i did that, i upload the cer to the standby, in the standbty everthing is "gray" and i can't add the certificate to the profile so i shut down the master , then the standby change to master, under the profile i added the certificate and i got error:

    Error processing command 'aaa authentication dot1x "my-profile-name" server-cert "CCAMC7220D"':Unknown Trusted CA Certificate. Please upload the certificate before configuring in the profile

     

    I upload the certificate from GUI, and i can see them, but when i checked with

    Did you submit the CSR on the standby controller to a CA?

    Based on your first post, it seems like the controller does not think the Controller Server Certificate was signed by the CA Certificate you uploaded.
