Technical Tip: Local certificate renewal

[afornaris]

Description
Local certificates signed by a third party such as GoDaddy need to be renewed after a period of time.
However, often when that happens the CA entity will only provide the hash portion of the certificate.
This article explains how to use this to update the previously imported certificate.
Solution
Open the cert file in a text editor such as Notepad++ and proceed to copy everything starting on the following line:
"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----[HASH TEXT]-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

Note: Quotation marks must be included

Through CLI, issue the following command to update the existing certificate:

#config vpn certificate local
edit <local_cert_name>
set certificate "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----[HASH TEXT]-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
end
