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
