My DMA 7000 had an expired Server SSL certificate.  In updating it, we removed what we believed to be some outdated certs.  Well, we're now locked out of our DMA 7000.  Accessing the Web UI gives us the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" error and does NOT allow us to continue to the DMA 7000.  We haven't found a way around the error.  We plugged directly into the console, hoping we may be able to do something there, but it just gives us a login and nothing seems to work.  We contacted Polycom support and they basically told us we would have to restore the DMA 7000 to factory settings.  I have a hard time believing that.  I found an article about the CMA 5000 for this exact problem and how to resolve it, so I'm hoping there is a similar solution for the DMA 7000.  I need a way to remote into the DMA 7000, and then add certificates or restore default certificates.  Anyone have an idea how?  Can I do something via the console?  Can I SSH or RDP into it?  If I truly need to wipe the system, then I'll probably just update to the newest version and rebuild from scratch.  Thanks!

I had a similar problem last year and was told by a Polycom rep that the only way to get remote access was to factory reset the DMA.  Before doing this, though, I would seriously consider contacting your Polycom rep to confirm!!  Surely Polycom can figure out a less confusing way to manage certificates....

Hello all,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Certificates are all about security and if our Support team had already advised of the correct next steps then these should be followed up.

 

Please work with your Polycom reseller and/or Polycom support directly if any further assistance is required.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

JGM,

 

I would have gotten this case escalated as you are right. As long as we have SSH access, then we should be able to copy over a default certificate store in order to get you up and running. I had to do someting similar with an RPAD installation because the RPAD does not have a reset cert button (at the time) like the CMA does. 

 

Since the DMA is an applicance, there is little I can do on these public forums. If the DMA password was given, for example, you would have access to all of the DMAs which have public access. This represents a security flaw which we are slowly addressing. 

 

if going through the escalation process is long and drawn out, then a reimage might make more sense since the available upgrade includes a reimage anyway.

Hello,

 

We have similar issue, polycom support informed that the certificate chain is broken and the option they suggest is to reimage or escalte to tier3..... just saw your posts and this are pretty old...polycom have not figured out anything for this issue in mean time ?

 

Regards,

San.

Hello San,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The trouble is that people for whatever reason chose not to involve our Support Organisation basically depriving themselves and others of ever finding a solution.

 

We can therefore only guess the root cause and troubleshooting would require an official ticket.

What browser are you using? Different browsers behave differently when it comes to certificate validation. Chrome is the most stringent but IE 11 isn't far behind. Firefox appears to be the most lenient. It will at least give you the option to continue after it has warned you about a certificate problem.
