vManage Certificate Failure

[samirshaikh52]

Hello

I am trying to install the certificate for vManage controller but getting the following error

Failed to retrieve device data

Failed to find device with uuid null

I've tried the following methods to create a certificate but getting same error message

- Windows Server CA

- XCA

- OpenSSL

Any thoughts on this issue ?

Very good post!!

I'm curious about solutions when openssl command strings don't work consistently. I sign and completed the vmanage cert install using vmanage. However when I try to sign the vbond\vsmart csr using vmanage, I get weird failures.

For ex.:

vManage:~$ openssl x509 -req -in vbond.csr -days 2000 -sha256 -CA ROOTCA.pem -CAkey ROOTCA.key -CAcreateserial -out vbond.crt
140364379023040:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:697:Expecting: CERTIFICATE REQUEST
vManage:~$

Has anyone seen this error and found a solution??

Thanks in advance!!

For those that receive the following error:

140364379023040:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:697:Expecting: CERTIFICATE REQUEST

The solution is to use "vim" and recreate the csr file. What I discovered is that the csr was corrupt and started with "N----" and therefore wasn't getting read properly by openssl.

So I "rm" the vbond.csr and "vim vbond.csr" using "i" to go into insert mode when pasting the csr. And that solved the problem.

Hope that helps someone.
