This was a internal request from support team to quickly fix the certificate expire issue. I would like to post it here in case you need it. Please note this should only apply to your Dev VHD, and strongly recommand you create a checkpoint before proceed.
Symptom:
You will get error 503 when trying to access local URL https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/
Check in Computer Certificates, you will see Certifcates started with DeploymentsOnebox expired.
Workaround:
One script for all steps(renew certificate,grant permission, replace in config, reset iis and batch)
Function Update-Thumberprint
{
Set-Location -Path “cert:\LocalMachine\My”
$oldCerts = Get-childitem | where { $_.subject -match “DeploymentsOnebox” -or $_.Subject -match “MicrosoftDynamicsAXDSCEncryptionCert”}
$ConfigFiles =
@(“C:\AOSService\webroot\web.config”,
“C:\AOSService\webroot\wif.config”,
“C:\AOSService\webroot\wif.services.config”,
“C:\FinancialReporting\Server\ApplicationService\web.config”,
“C:\RetailServer\webroot\web.config”
)
foreach ($oldCert in $oldCerts)
{
$newCert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -CloneCert $oldCert
#consider to delete the old cert
$keyPath = Join-Path -Path $env:ProgramData -ChildPath “\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys”
$keyName = $newCert.PrivateKey.CspKeyContainerInfo.UniqueKeyContainerName
$keyFullPath = Join-Path -Path $keyPath -ChildPath $keyName
$aclByKey = (Get-Item $keyFullPath).GetAccessControl(‘Access’)
$permission = “EveryOne”,“Read”, “Allow”
$accessRule = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule -ArgumentList $permission
$aclByKey.SetAccessRule($accessRule)
Set-Acl -Path $keyFullPath -AclObject $aclByKey -ErrorAction Stop
foreach($configFile in $ConfigFiles)
{
(Get-Content -Path $configFile).Replace($oldCert.Thumbprint,$newCert.Thumbprint) | Set-Content $configFile
}
}
}
Update-Thumberprint
iisreset
Restart-Service “DynamicsAxBatch”
Please copy all the script and run in powershell via administrator previligge.
Each time you run this script, it will create a new set of certificates. So do not repeat it.
Hope it helps.
