RHEV-M upgrade asks to renew certificate. What does it mean?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When engine-setup is started, it asks to renew the certificate authority (CA). What does it mean and what are the consequences?

  • RHEV-M 3.5.4 - 4.1.3

    One or more of the certificates should be renewed, because they expire soon or include an invalid expiry date, which is rejected by recent browsers.

  • RHEV-M 4.1.4 and later

    One or more of the certificates should be renewed, because they expire soon, or include an invalid expiry date, or do not include the subjectAltName extension, which can cause them to be rejected by recent browsers.
