I deployed successfully last night, but today I got the following error with two seperate projects on the same server:
OperationStopped: Could not find certificate under Cert:\LocalMachine with thumbprint dd87085f7e3a7b8623d87db7f910d39919fcd02a. Make sure that the certificate is installed to the Local Machine context and that the private key is available.
At
C:\Octopus\Applications\Dev\MyProjectName\27_1\Octopus.Features.IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy.ps1:497 char:4
So I tried finding the file Octopus.Features.IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy.ps1 with no luck. But also looked previous folders were deploy has been successful, no file with that name either.
After some investigation, I found that my Let’s Encrypt was updated on the server this morning, so I’m thinking that must be it. By using google chrome, clicking on the SSL Certificate, it shows me that the thumbprint is another one:
d83b7665a0fe3e3e77e5edf2f40927f91e46e0a6
So my guess is I have to find the setting in Octopus Deploy and update it so that it is looking for the right SSL certificate. But with no luck, I’ve been looking three times on all the settings and I can’t find the thumbprint SSL setting in Octopus Deploy.
So right now I don’t know if my assumptions are correct, that Octopus Deploy even have my SSL certificate thumbprint.
For future reference, the IIS settings are found by going to the specific project and then process.
To answer your question, I have a script running on my server which renews my SSL certificate. It was already setup before I was using Octopus Deploy, so did not want to change that. One being a new source of error in the install, and two if I ever wanted to change Octopus for another software, I could without having that binding. Not that I’m thinking about it, I’m a very happy user.
