Description

This article describes behavior where a certificate error is generated when exporting data from the FortiNAC Admin UI.

Scope FortiNAC-F v7.6.
Solution

Example:

  1. In the FortiNAC GUI, navigate to Users & Hosts -> Adapters.
  2. Select Export

The error 'Cannot create export files without valid certificate' is displayed.

This behavior can occur when using an insecure URL. This is by design.

 

Other exportable data include:

  • Hosts.
  • User accounts.
  • Endpoint compliance.

 

To export data, the browser must be connecting to the FortiNAC Admin UI using a secure URL (e.g. https://<hostname>:8443/).  

 

This is in the Admin UI Certificate Target description under Server Certificates in the Administration Guide.
