ISE 2.4 issue with deleting a certificate CSCvj11476 - Running URT and Upgrade

[Alex Pfeil]

I am having a similar issue to the above bug.  I am running ISE 2.3 patch 1.  When I try to run the URT, i get a certificate error and it stops running.  Will this effect the patch and upgrade process?

There was also another bug related to ghost certificates, where if you ever changed the hostname of a node, certs would not get removed from the store. So if you ever changed the hostname, it would give TAC a direction. I'm not 100% certain on this, but I've been under the assumption that if the URT fails on any of it's list of steps, then the upgrade bundle will hit the same snag. One way to check would be to build a temp 2.4 vm, restore your backup, and see how it goes.

I would check both the system certificates and trust certificates for any expired certs. If you can't see the issue then the next step is get TAC involved to correct the issue. The reason the URT exists is to open preemptive cases to fix any issues like this, chances are they have dealt with it before.

I was running ISE 2.4 patch 1. I could not delete a certificate out. It was causing the URT to fail.  I went ahead and applied patch 5.  The reason I did not contact TAC was the bug is listed as a low priority. If the bug is a low priority, it must not be causing too many real issues with operation or upgrading (that is my logic).  The patch installed successfully.  After the patch was complete, the suspect certificate is gone as well.

Adding patch 5 worked.  It gave me information on where to remove the certificate, from Syslog targets, I changed cert and could proceed with the 2.6 upgrade.
