Koldov Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 I'm not sure if this is a problem or not as we don't use Macs and I have pretty much zero knowledge of how to manage them. Ours literally just sits in the server room and acts as a caching server for iPad iOS updates and occasionally AC2 gets used... I rarely ever look at it but yesterday I went on it to check some details to post on a thread about iPads and AC2, but noticed a lock symbol I'd never seen before in the dock. I double clicked it and it was 'Keychain Access', when it opened I was greeted with this: I'm guessing it's not good but I have no clue what to do about it and don't want to mess anything up or lose access to the device (lock myself out or something) or if it is really important or not...?
3s-gtech Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 You can renew them from the Server app on the Mac, under Certificates. As they've been allowed to expire, you may have to re-enroll any iPads tied to it, and if you use Profile Manager it can be a mission to get it to work again. 1
Koldov Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 Thanks! As far as I know we've never used 'Profile Manager' and I have no idea how to check if any of the current iPads have been 'enrolled' using the Mac-Mini, we haven't used it for that since the very, very early days of iPad deployment (all ASM and Meraki now), how would I check?
Koldov Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 The other thing is... now I'm in the Server app, I just double click on the previous one and choose 'Renew'...? I wonder why I have 2 certificates in there... must have created a new one at some point rather than renewing the old one...?
3s-gtech Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 If Renew is available, just use that. Some certs have to be re-created instead. As you don't use PM I'm not sure what the certs will be doing, but no harm in refreshing them. 1
Brimstone Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 You don't need the server app you can create self signed vcerts in Keychain Access... https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/keychain-access/kyca8916/mac 1
Koldov Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 I deleted one and renewed the other and nothing seems to have broken (yet). So, I'm just left with this in 'Keychain Access (System)'... don't know what it's for, or if I need it. I'd rather not just create a new one as I don't really know what I'm doing or why... It doesn't have an option to renew and it doesn't appear in the server app under certificates.
