Non-default X.509 certs on EdgeOS?

Thu Dec 31 14:08:13 UTC 2020

Are you using ‘service gui {ca,dh,cert}-file’ options to replace the cert?  

Put the carts in:

/config/ssl/

And they’ll persist across upgrades and reboots.

Don’t just replace the lighttpd cert files anymore - has been obsolete way of doing it for a looong time.

Also, 2.0.8 has been stable for at least a year now, 2.0.9 just got released with a bunch of updates that include Ethernet driver and net filter tables optimizations (ie: big performance boosts).

Probably shouldn’t be running 1.x anymore really, especially on the later generation hardware.

If we use ping to monitor in Nagios, in the event of a power event when someone else gets our old address we get a false service-ok alert, so instead we allow only the monitoring system to touch the otherwise-unused web gui on the external interface, and look for the CN to be what we’re expecting.  Works great, so long as the cert I put there stays...
