Replace Certificate not working in v2019.4.5

Lars_Uppheim · 30 April 2019 10:26

I’m trying to replace an expiring certificate in Library/Certificates but I’m not able to Choose a file. Nothing happens when clicking the Choose file icon. Tested in Chrome, Edge and Vivaldi.

Anyone else experienced this?

Yeah we face this to with v2019.4.4. A big problem since some certificates are expiring soon.

Hi Lars and Marcel,

Thanks for getting in touch and bringing this bug to our attention. I’ve reproduced this and raised an issue for you to track at the following link.

We’re treating this as a priority, though a potential short term workaround may be to replace the certificate via the API. We have a sample script using Octopus.Client (an open source .NET library) to replace certificates.

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/Octopus.Client/PowerShell/Certificates/ReplaceCertificate.ps1

# You can this dll from your Octopus Server/Tentacle installation directory or from
# https://www.nuget.org/packages/Octopus.Client/

Add-Type -Path 'Octopus.Client.dll' 

$apikey = 'API-MYAPIKEY' # Get this from your profile
$octopusURI = 'http://MY-OCTOPUS' # Your server address

$endpoint = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusServerEndpoint $octopusURI,$apikey 
$repository = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusRepository $endpoint

$certificateName = "Acme HTTPS"

$currentCertificate = $repository.Certificates.FindByName($certificateName);

$replacementPfxPath = "D:\somewhere\replacement.pfx"
$pfxBase64 = [Convert]::ToBase64String((Get-Content -Path $replacementPfxPath -Encoding Byte)) 
$pfxPassword = "Password!"

$replacementCertificate = $repository.Certificates.Replace($currentCertificate, $pfxBase64, $pfxPassword);

I hope this helps, and I’m very sorry for the inconvenience this bug has caused you! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions moving forward.

Best regards,

Kenny
