Cisco router running as certifcate server has lost public key

Richard Tapp

We have been running two separate certificate servers for approx two years without issue.

One of them did a forced reload the other night and from what I can tell it has lost one or both of its keys.

Does anyone know if I can reapply them. I tried to re-import them from backup which seemed to complete, but they are still not showing


DC-xx-xxx-RT2#sh cry pki ser
Certificate Server dmvpn-xx-RT2:
    Status: disabled, Server key not found, waiting for (offline) key
    State: check failed
    Server's configuration is locked  (enter "shut" to unlock it)
    Issuer name: CN=xxVPNCERT
    CA cert fingerprint: 1445C473 112DBE81 F01EFA73 F38383FD
    Granting mode is: auto
    Last certificate issued serial number (hex): 0
    CA certificate expiration timer: 00:00:00 UTC Jan 1 1970
    CRL not present.
    Current primary storage dir: nvram
    Database Level: Minimum - no cert data written to storage
    Auto-Rollover configured, overlap period 50 days

These files are in nvram:

DC-xx-xxx-RT2#dir nvram:

Only TP-self-signed keys showing. The other router has two extras for the certificate server RSA keys
