Hello Joe!
When you installed your new CA, the DN of your mgmt's certificate changed.
You will find this DN in the userc.c of the SC system several times, for
example:
:dn ("O=firewall.company.de.95kzqs")
Just do an update from the SecureClient GUI and everything should be ok.
If this isn't working, delete your userc.c and create a new one.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Tobias
