I'm getting the following regularly - 16 times in 30 mins.

  • Yep.. I am seeing these in Dimension every 2-3 minutes, while a PC is logged in and surfing the net.. When the PC is shut down - the log entries do not appear..

    UPDATE: I lodged a low priority case to look into this one.. It is only on the T40 not on the other boxes..

  • Not the correct answer from support since I have a T20, not a T40.

  • Bruce, where are you seeing those messages? I don't see them in FSM traffic monitor. I have not been logging to Dimension for a long time.

  • FSM Traffic Monitor

    The T20 & T40 do share the same XTM version download.

  • OK. I don't see those on my T20-W running 12.6.2 U3. I just enabled logging to Dimension on it.

  • I got one so far in Dimension.

    I should have read my answer better. It is not on any of my other boxes (T70 and T15) - only my T40.. Support apparently have not seen the problem before.. I have a few questions to answer for them.. I will update with the results..

  • The certificate is on the FireBox...

    If you delete it and reboot the Firebox. it is gone forever.. That will solve the problem tactically, but begs the question of why did WatchGuard put it there in the first place?

    Interestingly, the certificate is also on my T70 and it seems to have expired on Oct 17 and is showing as expired on my Firebox, but there are no log messages like there are on the T40.. Bug?

    T70's certificate:
    Subject name c=FR st=France l=Paris o=PM/SGDN ou=DCSSI cn=IGC/A

    At this stage there are no other messages related to the certificate on the T40 (e.g. missing certificate)..

  • Another "feature" of V12.6.2

  • I just deleted it from mine. I have not upgraded my T35 yet to 12.5.5 whatever. I'll do that and check before and after for that cert.

    Gregg Hill

  • We got a result of sorts from Support. The T20/T40 is working normally in that it informed us of an expired certificate. It seems that the other boxes have a "bug", because they did not report an expired certificate. However, I need to lodge a case for the other boxes so that the "bug" can be captured.

    As an aside, I was also informed that the certificate must have been imported by me. I explained that the T15 is a test lab box and is factory reset every time we do a beta test (i.e. we do not import any configurations on to this box) - so the certificate must have come with the box.. Why on earth would an Australian import what looks like a French Government CA certificate on all their Fireboxes? The WatchGuard support guys are really good, but some days it can be hard going getting the message across to them..

  • I did not import this cert.
    Support is still a little confused.

  • It absolutely is NOT a self-imported cert. I know that I didn't do it on my T20-W.

  • I just connected my T35 running 12.5.5 build 672719.

    These are its expired certs:

    I am going to upgrade to 12.5.5 U1 to see if it is any different.

  • Now on 12.5.5. U1:

    I am going to delete all of the expired certs.
