how to force engine certificate renewal

Hello, I'm currently still on 4.4.x. Suppose I have an engine certificate expiring on mid August and I want to force renew it now using "engine-setup --offline" command. How can I do it if possible? How many days before expiration I get the message that it is expiring soon with a proposal of renewing it when running "engine-setup"? Thanks, Gianluca

oVirt: 4.5.0.8-1.el8 Hi, I got a warning yesterday that the engine certificate is 'about' to expire, in 6 months....
Engine's certification is about to expire at 2022-12-10. Please renew the engine's certification.
I tried 'engine-setup --offline' but wasn't prompted to update the engine certificate. Regards, Brett On Thu, 26 May 2022 at 10:14, Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com> wrote:

I wouldn't force it. I tried that last week and spent the weekend reinstalling the engine host. Due to the engine no longer being able to install new / reinstall existing hosts or enroll host certificates after doing so. Might just be better to wait until engine-setup does it automatically. -Patrick Hibbs On Mon, 2022-06-06 at 07:26 +0100, Maton, Brett wrote:

A the beginning of last week I had to apply a certificate renewal on a RHV 4.4.7 environment. It is the commercial product but I think pretty similar in behaviour to the corresponding oVirt release. The engine certificate would have expired on 17th of August, so in between 2 and 3 months later. The command "engine-setup --offline" automatically proposed to renew them. It gave: " --== PKI CONFIGURATION ==-- One or more of the certificates should be renewed, because they expire soon, or include an invalid expiry date, or they were created with validity period longer than 398 days, or do not include the subjectAltName extension, which can cause them to be rejected by recent browsers and up to date hosts. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1572983 for more details. Renew certificates? (Yes, No) [No]: Yes " and then going ahead: " . . . [ INFO ] Upgrading CA [ INFO ] Renewing engine certificate [ INFO ] Renewing jboss certificate [ INFO ] Renewing websocket-proxy certificate [ INFO ] Renewing apache certificate [ INFO ] Renewing reports certificate [ INFO ] Updating OVN SSL configuration [ INFO ] Updating OVN timeout configuration . . .

Hi Gianluca, My issue is I'm getting the alert, but 'engine-setup --offline' is not offering to update the certificates. At the moment I'm hoping it's simply that engine is reporting that certificates need to be renewed before engine-setup is configured to offer the option to upgrade.

Yes, I understood it and I also subscribed to your bugzilla. My post was to give a sample of an expiry offset sufficient to get the prompt... My suspicion is that the web admin portal has hardcoded a 6 months notice, while the "engine-setup" command has a 3 months one. It should be easy to verify for someone who knows the code (not me... ;-). Gianluca
