Replace an expired Hub certificate

When a Hub's certificate has expired or will expire within 90 days, you have to rename or delete the existing certificate and reboot the Hub to get a new one.

  1. Enable root shell.

  2. Log in to the Hub with the Hub's IP address and password:

    • Linux: SSH to the Hub IP address and log in with the Hub's IP address and password:

      $ ssh admin@IP
      (admin@x.x.x.x) Password:
      
    • Windows: Log into the device using putty or Windows ssh:

      > ssh admin@IP
      > Password:
  3. From the Access selection menu, choose "s" to access the root shell.

  4. Either delete or rename the certificate, and then reboot the Hub.

    Delete the certificate:

    # rm /etc/config/ssl.pem 
    # reboot

    Rename the certificate:

    # cd /etc/config/
    # mv ssl.pem EXPIRED.pem
    # reboot
    
  5. After you reboot the Hub, the Hub creates a new Hub certificate, which will not be accepted by the existing AnywhereUSB Managers. You will need to reconnect the Hub to the existing AnywhereUSB Managers. For instructions, see Re-authenticate a Hub with the AnywhereUSB Manager.
