TLS certificate expired in rPDU

[jzurera]

Hi team,

we have a deploy with rPDUs model AP8659EU3 with firmware v.6.9.6 and we have detected that we cannot access to these PDUs with HTTPs because the TLS cerficate is expired. We activated HTTP by console and deleted the expired TLS certificate. Automatically a new TLS cerfificate was created with a 365 days of expiration time. So in one year we are going to have the same problem 

Is it possible to create a new certificate with more than 365 days?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

The easiest option is to upgrade the PDU to firmware version 7.0.4 or later.

If done, the expiry date of the certificate is moved to 2035

Best regards

Hi, where can I download this version of firmware for this rPDU?

Is there not a concern that Chromium browsers reject certificates that are longer than two (2) years in length?
