SSL Configuration

Hello!

I have an issue that I can’t troubleshoot.

I installed NZBDrone properly on Windows, configured the SSL part and had it working flawlessly.
Forgot to backup the password of the certificate though as I thought it would stay up until a complete OS re-installation.

I then restarted my computer to complete some Windows 7 updates.
And then no browser was able to connect through the configured SSL port.
I checked and it seems Windows hadn’t kept the cert registered and since I forgot its password, I made a new one.
Restarted NZBDrone but discovered that, still, only the non-SSL port was accessible.

Checked everything, no errors logged, no registration issue, everything seems to work fine except the fact that every browser I tried simply refused to connect when using the SSL port.
In the end, I try setting this port to another one and… it’s now working.
Nothing else was using that specific port so I don’t understand why it was not working.

Any idea?

Sounds like drone wasn’t able to unregister the old cert and the register the new one.

You can run netsh http show sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:9898 - replace 9898 with the old port number

and see if the hash matches the new cert’s hash.

Not sure why Windows would have tossed out your cert to begin with though.

Yeah, don’t know either.
Will try next time I have to restart the computer if it happens again.
Thanks :slight_smile:
