HTTPS certificates invalid - duplicate serial
Added by Chris Buechler about 15 years ago.
Updated almost 14 years ago.
Description
Generating a certificate and using it for HTTPS results in an unusable web interface.
"You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)"
Having trouble replicating this one again. It happened to me once when system -> advanced lost all of its settings but I have been unable to replicate that as well.
In addition, we default to https now and import a standard certificate on bootup.
How to reproduce:
Set the webgui logout timer to 1 minute.
Navigate to System -> Advanced
Wait 2 minutes.
Click submit.
Watch with awe as the entire form is wiped out.

Still a problem. To replicate, just generate a new cert and switch the web interface to it.

This has regressed it appears, after generating an internal certificate and changing the web interface to HTTPS, I end up with:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)
I don't have this issue on the snapshot of today 20110106-0206. Running firefox 3.6.13.

this is actually only possible if you manually screw with your certs in the config, it generates serials correctly under all normal circumstances.
