Hi,
Have a perfectly running project, deploying to different targets (PROD,DR, UAT), and some of the process steps are importing certificates into Local Machine stores of these targets. (v2020.3.6)
A new certificate containing new DNS aliases was created (identical in parameters as the existing ones), uploaded into Octopus, and mapped to the Variable set that is used to handle these certificate imports. New cert highlighted:
That specific step of the process is using a Variable (the same for each of these certificates, with a different value, for each of the environments. Since the new certificate was added and mapped to the variable sets, any new attempt to deploy is successful but there is no signs of the new certificate. We receive no errors, no warnings, it simply is not being picked up as a value, as if it wasnt even there.
I have checked octopus server logs, audit page, but there is absolutely nothing about this being mentioned.
Could it be that because it uses the same Variable name, and deployment targets as an existing certificate (PROD in the screenshot), it is just being ‘skipped’? I was trying to go through official documentation but I couldn’t find anything related to such limitations/requirements.
Yes, I have updated the Variables for the previously created release, so it has picked up the most recent variable set values. The certificates are created the same way, signed the same way, same format, etc. and this is happening for more new certificates setup the same way.
I would go ahead and add a different variable name for this new variable value (new certificate), and add it to the process as an extra cert import step.
