Cannot connect to Cisco Pix due to a Certificate error.

When attempting to connect to our Cisco Pix device vie IE I get a "Certificate Error". I have had to obtain new certificates for our ADP software from Bank Of America so I am familiar with installing new certs but I am new to this position that I now hold and there is no one here to guide me threw this one.

I was wondering where I would get a new cert from. Would it be Cisco or am I just lost? Can someone please help me? If you need any additional information I will be more than happy to provide it.

Thank you in advanced

bvrmnky46,

Are you just attempting to administer this device? If so then the expired certificate will have no bearing for you. As you will be the only one connecting to it. I will warn you though the PVDM is a bad/flaky way to administer this device imho.

It doesn't need a certificate to function and it doesn't support SSL VPN so would you  be able to explain what you were doing when you ran into this error.

Actually I was attempting to connect so that I can reroute my incoming SMTP to another IP on our network. I have installed a new spam/virus filter.

I attempted to connect to it like so https://ip address

I get a "please wait" while connecting and nothing but that cert error is present.

I did the #sh ru and seen all the configurations. I need to make some changes and maybe this is far to much to ask. Let me know and I will continue.

Thank you so far by the way. You are way cool!!
I need to see the code you are seeing, to help further.

I don't know what the rules are for "going to far" per say are but if you want to post the code I will see what I can do.

If you want to start a new post let me know I can help you there as well.

Your call on that one.

In your config you should see some lines that start with the word "Static" to start out I specifically need those lines but the whole config may be necessary.

Good Luck,

Just checking to see if you still need assistance?
Thanks for your help. I have to stop here because I found our support information from Cisco.. lol, better for me!!
