Hello Wilhelm,

well - thats quite obvious...

You want to issue a certificate with a three year validity with a CA certificate that expires in less then 36 month - either issue a new CA generation or reduce your validity.

best regards

Oliver

Hello,

we have an openxpki Server running since years, but now there is a problem I cant figure out, its our productive server.. :-(

OpenXPKI Version is: 3.30.9-0 (Debian 12)

Problem: we cant create certificates anymore, cisco routers try to get an certificate and we see the workflow and can accept and confirm. Then the workflow ends with an error and a retry results in the same Error message. (NICE backend error: Could not find token alias by group)

Cant remember we changed anything, on the end of this mail are the list of aliases etc.:

In the logs are the following lines maybe help:
