Re: Renewing DCM cert

I believe the 1 year max is an agreed limit, period. While I agree that things are changing quickly it does effectively make it impossible to keep valid certificates on everything such as HMCs and Network switches and Fiber Switches and Web servers and VTLs and and and.....

And that trains us to instinctively ignore those 'this site is insecure' messages as a matter of course, and just accept whatever self signed thing is on the device, despite it being old and expired.

I guarantee I continue past that message fifty times a day, every day!

So while the logic is good, I'm not sure the end effect is as positive to security as intended.

I've never got "renew" to work. I always just do a new CSR and get a new
cert. Most places now only allow a year at a time max, even if you buy a 2
or more year cert. Probably not a bad idea with how fast technology
changes.

DCM handled the .PFX file just fine, my trouble is with the renew option.
I'll just continue my search.

Thanks
