VPN certificate is not within its validity period - but dates match

walkman99 — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 17:00:39 GMT

Hello,

I let the self-signed root and server certificate expire on my GP portal/GW so I regenerated both the root and server certificate (again, self-signed). I am still getting the error even though the computer time falls between the start and end date for the cert.

Screenshots: Error message and certificate details with computer clock.

Any idea what happening?

@walkman99,

Did you re-add the updated root certificate to the computer that you're testing with. I'm going to assume that you didn't and the root on the computer is still expired.

This is correct, I didn't realize that I was now acting as my own CA - but obvious in hindsight. Problem solved, thank you.
