How do I bypass the SSL certificate
«

Hi All
I messed up the creation of a new SSl certificate for the WebGUI admin page and now I am locked out. I also turned off SSH access.
How do I bypass HTTPS so that I can remove the faulty certificate and start again?
Thanks

curl has a parameter "-k" or use a proxy that intercepts and supports invalid certificates. Or use VGA / RS232.

Thanks Fabian
I will try the console via the serial port.
If logged in via the console, where do I find the web gui settings I would normally find under System: Settings: Administration? I assume I should then select HTTP instead of HTTPS?
Thanks

You cannot select the certificate there but if you change an interface, you can revert the web gui to HTTP.

Logging in via the console and reassigning the LAN interface did not seem to do the trick - still could not access the web gui. I reset the firewall to factory defaults and then restored the config from a recent backup.
All back to normal (the importance of regular backups of the config file!) but my self signed SSL certificate is out of date - so back to the challenge of issuing a new one and using that to replace the old one, which is what caused my problem ion the first place.
Happy to receive guidance on that.
