# ssh-keygen -L -f proxy-ssh_host_rsa-cert.pub

Most probably a duplicate of bz 1988496

Comment 7 Qin Yuan 2022-04-22 02:58:57 UTC

The current fix only renews vmconsole cert when the engine CA cert is newer than the vmconsole cert.

Moving back to assigned for also renewing vmconsole cert when engine CA cert has longer expiration than vmconsole cert and the vmconsole cert has expired.

Comment 8 Milan Zamazal 2022-04-22 10:15:17 UTC

This is different from Bug 1988496, because the problem here is that other certificates, such as vmconsole-proxy-user-cert.pub and proxy-ssh_host_rsa-cert.pub, are not checked and renewed.

Ack, you're right, so moving to 4.5.1

Comment 14 Qin Yuan 2022-05-11 12:43:46 UTC

Verified with:
ovirt-engine-4.5.0.7-0.9.el8ev.noarch

Steps:
1. Update engine CA cert to make it newer than vmconsole-proxy-user cert, run `engine-setup --offline`, check if all vmconsole-proxy-host/user certs and proxy-ssh_host/user certs are renewed.

2. Update system time to make vmconsole-proxy-user cert expire, but engine CA cert not expire, run `engine-setup --offline`, check if all vmconsole-proxy-host/user certs and proxy-ssh_host/user certs are renewed.

Results:
1. All vmconsole-proxy-host/user certs and proxy-ssh_host/user certs are renewed during engine-setup when engine CA cert is updated.
2. All vmconsole-proxy-host/user certs and proxy-ssh_host/user certs are renewed during engine-setup when vmconsole-proxy-user cert is expired.
