Problem when adding a sensor to IDS MC

[oabduo983]

Hi All,

Any body has come across the problem I'm facing here? I'm adding 4 sensors to my IDS MC (2.2) and I'm getting an error message when I tried to add the third one, I clicked on (show message) and I got the attached output... please advise of how can I troubleshoot/fix this problem...

Appreciate your cooperation...

Regards

Regenerate the sensor's certificate. Usually this is because the sensor's certificate has expired. Then go back to IPS MC, and add the sensor.

For 5.x sensor, through IDM:

Configuration > Sensor Setup > Certificates > Server Certificate

click Generate Certificate

For 4.x sensor, through IDM:

Device > Sensor Setup > Certificate > Generate Host Certificate

click Apply to Sensor
