Fortigate certificate error

I have a fortigate with default administrative settings.

 

http port 80

https port 443

certificate fortinet factory

 

I download the certificate and install it to the trusted root certificate authorities.

 

That worked fine for some time.

 

Some time later, when i try to connect to my fgt i receive the https error for an untrusted certificate. The certificate i had installed is still there, but it seems that the browser (any browser) does not "recognize" it.

Did you try curl IE FF Chrome?  You probably did not set trust it or allow the root CA if it's sign from something else.

 

FWIW, We have a in-house PKI so all cert are signed by the  rootCA and distributed between devices internally, so cert signed by the privateCA is trusted

curl -v  https://hostname ( the name in the CN subject field )

 

Install the certificate in curl trust store and see if you get a error.
