Hi Rob, ipactl status is up and the flag is also in the correct state. However I have restarted pki-cad and the issue got fixed. Thanks for your help in fixing the issue.

Ok, the good news is that renewal already took place and it looks like everything is a-ok certificate-wise. First, make sure the CA is up: # ipactl status If the CA is down, start it with service pki-cad start. If the CA is up, the next thing to check are the trust flags: # certutil -L -d /var/lib/pki-ca/alias The auditSigningCert should be u,u,Pu If it isn't, fix it with: # certutil -M -t u,u,Pu -d /var/lib/pki-ca/alias -n 'auditSigningCert cert-pki-ca' You'll need to restart the CA after changing the trust: # service pki-cad restart If the trust is ok and the CA was already up we'd need to see your CA logs to try to determine what is going on. rob </tt> =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
