The issue here is our FMC Certificate authority(CA) certificate is generated for 10 years on firstboot. That self signed certificate is used to then sign other certificates(such as sftunnel certificates). When the CA certificate expires all certificates signed by it also expire or go invalid which breaks SSL communications. To validate the certificate run(as root): openssl x509 -in /etc/sf/ca_root/cacert.pem -noout -text Check the Validity Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 0 (0x0) Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption Issuer: title = InternalCA + OU = Intrusion Management System + CN = f873cebe-8eb6-11ec-adea-1d080592ad28, O = "Cisco Systems, Inc" Validity Not Before: Jul 28 04:14:27 2012 GMT <--- Check Here Not After : Jul 26 04:14:27 2022 GMT <--- Check Here
