  • 1.  Browser ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID warning

    Posted Wed December 30, 2020 02:32 PM

    Hi all,

    (IGI version 5.2.5.1)

    While browsing service center, administarion console, virtual appliance browsers give the warning "ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID" and we can continue by accepting the risk. Customer doesn't want to see this warning and I suggest putting a reverse proxy in front of igi but they insisted to update the certificate with their wildcard certificate. So I got a wildcard certificate of the company and tried to update the personal certificates from the va console but failed.

    Is there a way to do this or the customer needs to put a reverse proxy in front of igi and follow the post How to configure a Reverse Proxy for IGI Service Console when internal openId is enabled

    Thank you.

    Have you checked the root chain certificates for their validation period?

    Hi Joao,

    Certificates' validation period are valid. The problem is browsers don't trust VA's certificate because it is not a global signer. Is there a way to change the Personal certificate (not Signer) of VA with the company's own certificate?

    Thanks.

    Problem is solved.

    To upload the company's wildcard certificate the way is to upload it as a key store. 
    Even the original certificate that the VA generated, if you download it and try to upload it (.pem file) it fails. But if you build a key store and put this certificate into that store, now you can upload it as a store.
