If you are unable to connect to the management GUI from
your web browser and received a Certificate expired or
similar error, this information might help you resolve the issue.
Procedure
- Access the CLI by using ssh.
- Run the lseventlog CLI command.
-
Use the fix procedures for any error events, for example,
2258 - System SSL certificate
has expired
.
-
If the system SSL certificate is expired and no longer valid, connections to the GUI, service
assistant, and the CIMOM are likely to generate security exceptions.
-
Check that the system time and date is correct. If the system time or date is incorrect, it can
cause the certificate to be incorrectly marked as expired.
-
Create a new self-signed system certificate, or create a certificate
request. Get it signed by your certificate authority and install the signed request.
Note: If it takes some time to get a certificate signed, you can also create a self-signed
certificate to use while you wait for your request to be signed.
