    We are using client Certificate to access CAAdmin console in EJBCA version 3.9.7. The certiifcate got expired and we are not able to login to admin console. Please provide suggestion to renew the certiifcate or to disable to certificate based authentication and access publicly in 3.9.7 version of EJBCA. Request you suggestions and help to overcome this.

    You can use the command line interface to renew, It should say something about it in the documentation, with commands. Otherwise you can always set the clock back on the machine(s) and get into the UI.
    There is a new place for discussions is here: https://github.com/Keyfactor/ejbca-ce/discussions

    PS: Impressive to manage to run such an old version, including hardware, OS, java, and all.

    Cheers,
    Tomas

    Hi Tomas,
    I am able to login to admin console after setting the clock back. Thanks for your prompt response.
    But not able to renew the certificate. Tried creating the .p12 file by creating new entity. But not able to acces console with new certificate.

    Also can you help for activating the Management CA.

    Thanks

    Find your old end entity (probably "superadmin"?) and reset status on this entity to "New" and set a new password. This ensures that you get a certificate with the same Subject DN. Otherwise you will need to modify roles to give your new entity access to the system.
    You can find lots of documentation on-line, not for version 3.9.7 thought. But that documentation should be in your system under the "Documentation" link.
    https://doc.primekey.com/ejbca/ejbca-operations/ejbca-ca-concept-guide/roles-and-access-rules

    Of course you need to upgrade the system as well, but I guess I don't need to say that...
