Question

hi Peeps

 

please help

 

Fortimanager vm and fortigate vm version : 7.0.1

 

I just installed the two vms and linked them but when I tried to install the policy, it keeps failing with "Input is not a valid CA certificate"

 

I deleted the root_ca2 from the CLI configuration, under device manager, but when I try to install policy again it tries again to install the CA and it fails and when I check if the CA was really deleted or not I found that it has reappeared.

 

I did not find CLI configuration under Policy&package to uninstall the CA from there too.

thank you for your response. Im not trying to import a CA but fortimanager is trying to do that against my will whenever I try to install it tries to install an Invalid CA VPN certificate which it fails to do. this is a known issue and the solution for was to remove the CA from the cli configuration under both the "device manager" and under "policy&package" but I don't have CLI configuation under policy&package
