Device Certificate: can't replace old device cert by putting in newly generated OTP

L1 Bithead

I did a dumb thing. I wanted to extend the validity period of the current device certificate, so I went to live.paloaltonetworks and generated a new OTP. However, back on the firewall, I find that the "get certificate" button is not available. It just shows that the current certificate is valid. I think the mismatch is generating these errors in the system log:

 

CloudAuthService Server certificate validation failed. Dest Addr: app-registry-service.apps.paloaltonetworks.com, Reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain

 

How do I delete or reset the current device certificate and reinstate the "get certificate" button so I can enter the new OTP?

Hi @tomsheldon ,

 

Can you try using the CLI ?

 

admin@PA-LAB> request certificate fetch otp <value>

 

This should trigger the job 'Device-certificate-fetch'.

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks Kiwi,

 

I had tried that command the other day without success, but your messages reassured me I should try it again.

This time, I typed "request certificate fetch" (without otp) and it worked.
