    So am I understanding you correctly in that you installed a certificate that is not working and you are no longer able to get in to the User Interface?

    If that is the case, there is a command available to clear the certificates from the system. This would allow you to log in to the non-secure version of the UI.

    Maybe you could explain a little of what led up to the situation you are in so that I can better assist you?

    Thank you!
    Tom

    hi Tom -- thisis a new cert for a new device - the CSR was generated by another staff member and unfortunatley was not done on the device , the CSR was then signed externally (using the host name of the device)

    so i have a new cert (with valid hostname) and private key but cant use the gui to get them into the device

    thanks

    i had to contact support and they advised you nolonger can import a cert \ private key in to the device as of 8.0.2-- The CSR has to be generated on the device itself

    we are cancelling the cert and getting it re-issued using the CSR generated from the device

    Thank you for the update. The tech you were working with walked up to me with that, and I was wondering if that might have been you. Seemed strangely coincidental.  :)
