HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
The latest firwmare, version 2.12.6, released on 9 Apr 2024, appears to contain an expired Vertiv certificate, which triggers Java security warnings every time a connection is made.
Is this correct? HP released an update with a certificate which had already expired at the time of release?
Perhaps I'm the only one who actually looked into the reason for the security warning, others have given up and just ignore them because this device can potentally generate so many security warnings.

Note the rest of the cert chain is unexpired, I am aware there was an older version with a cert which expired in 2021.
I believe the issue is the code signing certificate used to sign the Java binary, and this is not configurable in the web GUI, but I am happy to be corrected if there is a way for this to be resolved.

Re: HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
Hi,
If you see the release notes, there are some enhancements and unsupported JAVA and IE versions.
Thank You!

Re: HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
I fail to understand how "unsupported Java versions" (which I don't believe I'm using) would be related to a certificate which expired in March 2024?
There is mention in the release notes of a certifcate expiring in 2021, not the one I am referring to.

Hi,
Is it possible for you to share the error message or screenshot of the error you are getting on the switch?
Thank You!

Re: HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
Hi,
Are you using any Vertiv software for management of switches, if so, what is the name of that SW and its version, do you think you need to contact them for Certificate issues?
Thank You!

No we are not using any software from Vertiv and never have. The certificate comes from the built-in firmware in the HP IP Console Switch G2. It is an OEM Avocent (Vertiv) product sold by HP.

Re: HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
Hi,
In this scenario, I can only think of JAVA update or getting in touch with HPE Support to log a ticket.
Thank You!

1 - Generate Request and PrivateKey
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout serverprvkey.pem -nodes -sha1 -days 1095 -out server.req
2 - Generate certificate against CA
certreq -attrib "CertificateTemplate:WebServer"
3 - convert BEGIN PRIVATE KEY to BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY)
openssl rsa -in server2prvkey.pem -out server2_newkey.pem
4 - copy paste rsa key to cert
5 - upload to kvm

Re: HP IP Console Switch G2 - Vertiv Certificate Expired even with Latest 2.12.6 Firmware
Unfortunately there seems to be confusion about the certificate being discussed.
The certificate which is presented by the web console can be replaced by OpenSSL commands and the procedure described above.
The Vertiv certificate is the actual code signing certificate used to sign the Java binary which is built in, and I don't believe can be changed. The app which downloads when a remote connection is initiated (not through the web console but downloading a file to launch the KVM viewer app).
