Description:
Issue
If you reboot a Firebox that is configured to use a third-party certificate for its web server or a certificate-based VPN, the web server might use the default certificate instead. If this occurs, users could experience certificate errors during Firebox Authentication, or with connections to the Firebox Access Portal, Mobile VPN with SSL, or Fireware Web UI. Branch Office VPN over SSL could also fail after a reboot.
Workaround/Solution
To resolve this issue: 1. Select the default Firebox certificate. 2. Save this change to the Firebox. 3. Select the correct signed certificate and save again. For instructions, see Configure the Web Server Certificate for Firebox Authentication. Note that the problem can reoccur after each Firebox reboot.
