Hi  All

through xca , but i am encountering this error  every time . I am using quite old IOS 16.2.11 as I dont have smart account 

Please can anyone help me on this ?  I am only facing this issue on Vbnond while vmanger  and Vsmart  are working properly

 vbond:~$ ls -l

Check the system confirm of your vBond. Are you using the vBond as the CA?

Edit the vBond config to "vbond {vbond IP} local vbond-only" For example vbond 199.1.1.3 local vbond-only.

Then retry installing the manual certificate on the vBond

If the vBond acting as Root Server, you do not need to request cert for root

##Use vshell / viptela_cli to switch between shell and cli modes
vBond# vshell
vBond:~$ openssl genrsa -out ROOTCA.key 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
........+++..............................................+++
e is 65537 (0x10001)

vBond:~$ openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ROOTCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 \
> -subj "/C=UK/ST=LON/L=LON/O=BBLAB/CN=BB.LOCAL" \
> -out ROOTCA.pem

$ ls -l - check the ROOTCA.key and ROOTCA.pem available


# Excecute the following command in CLI mode on all devices
request root-cert-chain install scp://admin@vsmartip:/home/admin/ROOTCA.pem vpn 0

check cert on vsmart once above step completed successfully.

vSmart# show certificate root-ca-cert
