Error: certificate has expired

[Fernando-Checa]

Describe the bug lots of messages like this. II tried to redeploy the nodes but no fix yet.

Log Output `7 Mar 10:07:06 - [warn] [alexa-smart-home-v3-conf:0a407f1bc09a3464] Re-connecting to Alexa/ Google Home Skill MQTT server: mq-red.cb-net.co.uk, account username: xxxxxx

7 Mar 10:07:06 - [error] [alexa-smart-home-v3-conf:0a407f1bc09a3464] Error: certificate has expired`

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Node-RED node version: 3.0.2

[Fernando-Checa]

I can ping both servers just fine:

PING mq-red.cb-net.co.uk (178.79.148.16) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from li268-16.members.linode.com (178.79.148.16): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=35.6 ms

PING red.cb-net.co.uk (172.67.131.163) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.67.131.163 (172.67.131.163): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=25.9 ms

Also restarted Nodered, the whole machine and even changed my password on the website to update the node.

But still not working

Also tried to clear tokens and relinking the skill...

Same problem here since some hours:

The skill does not work anymore the nodes are disconnected and try to reconnect regularly but they do not succeed. For a long time nothing has changed on the own server or the flows, so I assume a problem with the service server. I hope someone can fix this, because the service has worked excellent so far.

I’m on it. Bear with me.

[Fernando-Checa]

Take your time. If you need any help, tests or logs just ask.

[jimmycd]

if you need help tell us

This should now be resolved. Still trying to get to the bottom of what happened --> cert renewed automatically, as expected, but this led to some users not being able to connect. Inconsistent results across different groups of users, always makes RCA hard.

I have reset certs across the stack (hence some of the downtime tonight - first real outage in years 😭).

[privet971]

.Thanks a lot , I confirm that all are ok now.

Good job !!!!

[Fernando-Checa]

Seems resolved from here as well. Thanks so much for your time

[coldfire84]

I have refactored the cert-renewal hook scripts this evening, I am hopeful this should solve/ prevent a reoccurrence of the issue.
