Title: system -> settings -> administration save fails
Post by: genfoch01 on March 21, 2024, 07:27:54 PM

opnsense 23.7.12_5

when into system -> settings -> admin
just wanted to enable password protection on console menu but when I hit save I get the error

"the following input errors were detected
Certificate XXXX is not intended for server use "

and my change did not save.

now, my browser says the cert is valid. I did create it with my own internal CA

what does "not intended for server use " even mean? note this is for opnsense not for openvpn
and why does it work but I can't save any changes on this page?

I would like to solve this before tring to upgrade to 24.x

thanks,
GF

Thanks for the link! this is not something I have a lot of familiarity with. I managed to get letencrypt working with the acme plugin which seems a much better solution in the first place.

Thanks again,

GF
