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

  1. In the PrivX Admin UI, unregister the Extender.
  2. Download the Extender .toml configuration file and copy it to the Extender server.
  3. Run the post-install script with the --request-cert option:
    /opt/privx/scripts/extender-postinstall.sh --request-cert
