Server app warns me I have to renew the code signing certificate soon.
It tells me everyday. It will do so until I do renew it…but nothing happens when I clic in the Server GUI….
Ok according to this Apple KB : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5358 this is done via command line .
1) identify certificate :
myserv.mydomain.com Code Signing Certificate
2) get Subject Name ( Common Name ) :
myserv.mydomain.com Code Signing Certificate
3) get issuer name (Common Name):
IntermediateCA_MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM_1
4) Serial Number :
Note the serial number, convert it in hexadecimal and remove the 0x at the beginning.
either you follow the Apple KB and use the Calculator.app.
- STANDARD decimal serial number (10) : 2529263939
- HEXA hexadecimal converted (16) : 0x96C18143
- final HEXA without beginning 0x (and we need it in lowercase) : 96c18143
Or you can use this one liner :
python -c "print hex(2525483279)" | sed s/0x//g
result
9687d10f
It was in lowercase for me but just double check it is your case too.
5) Final Terminal Command to change the Certificate
— in 10.8 :
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/certadmin --recreate-CA-signed-certificate "myserv.mydomain.com Code Signing Certificate" "IntermediateCA_MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM_1" 9687d10f
— in 10.7 :
sudo /usr/sbin/certadmin --recreate-CA-signed-certificate "myserver.mydomain.com Code Signing Certificate" "IntermediateCA_MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM_1" 9687d10f
Product and graphic designer turned to be a Mac SysAdmin.
This should take care of the entire crap for 10.8 in one line:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/certadmin –recreate-CA-signed-certificate “`hostname` Code Signing Certificate” “IntermediateCA_`hostname | tr ‘a-z’ ‘A-Z’`_1″ `security find-certificate -c “\`hostname\` Code Signing Certificate” | grep snbr | cut -d “x” -f 2 | cut -d ” ” -f 1 | tr ‘A-Z’ ‘a-z’ | sed ‘s/^0*//’`
