Certificate error when accessing controller

  • 1.  Certificate error when accessing controller

    Posted Dec 19, 2011 01:30 PM

    I have imported a new server certificate (and used the DNS entry to the controller as the "common name" while issuing the CSR) into my controller but I still come across the certificate error in Internet Explorer. When I look into the details of the certificate, it says, "Issued to: securelogin.arubanetworks.com". I thought the common name I specified would change that to our DNS entry but apparently that hasn't happened. Any ideas on what I might be missing here?

    After you imported the certifictae to the controller, you should configure the controller to use the new certificate for webserver on the controller.

     

    In GUI

    Management > General > WebUI Management Authentication Method > server certificate (select your new certificate)

     

    CLI:

     

    (MC1-Sunnyvale-3600) (config)# web-server switch-cert <name of the cert>

     

    The CA that issued the  new certificate should also be a trusted CA in the certificate store of the client in order to get rid of the error
