we recently purchased an SBS Suite and installed without a single problem. Now, 3 days later I’m trying to remotely connect to the server using ADNM Console. I enter username and password like I used to the past 3 days but now I get a messagebox telling me ‘The server certificate does not seem to be valid! Either it has an invalid signature or it is expired.’. After that, I get error 0x7FFF3004 (Unable to login as xxxx or connection error). When I try checking Local SSL certificates, I get an emtpy Error Messagebox and than a Certificate Manager with no certificates listed.
I exported the certificate on the server, and tried to reïnstall it on my client, but than I get an empty error messagebox twice and no certificate gets added.
What if you generate a new certificate (in the AMS Maintanance Tool)?
Also, did you initially generate or import the certificate? (during ADNM installation)
I tried regenerating a certificate, but it doesn’t solve the problem. I guess the client tries to load a corrupted certificate? Is there a way to delete all certificates manually (without using the console)?
My initial certificate was also generated instead of imported. It shouldn’t expire for 3 years.
Stop the “avast! Management Server” service (Administrative Tools → Services), delete the file \data\amscert.pem, generate a new certificate using the Maintenance Tool and finally restart the “avast! Management Server” service.
BTW is the system clock set correctly? (including the “year” value)
