Extender Fails to Register to Privx Due to Expired Certificate
When running the following command:
/opt/privx/scripts/extender-postinstall.sh
The extender fails to register with PrivX and returns this error:
Host deployment server error: certificate '/opt/privx/extender/extender.crt' has expired 2022-01-27 07:11:06 +0000 UTC
This is likey due to the TLS certificate used by the Extender for host deployment being expired.
Potential Solution
- In the PrivX Admin UI, unregister the Extender.
- Download the Extender
.toml
configuration file and copy it to the Extender server. - Run the post-install script with the
--request-cert
option:/opt/privx/scripts/extender-postinstall.sh --request-cert
