Renew expired self-signed certificate (unifi-core) on UDM Pro

Recently I encountered an issue where my UDM-Pro had its self-signed certificate expired.
In this post we’ll see how we can issue a new self-signed certificate.

The steps were performed and tested under UDM-Pro with Unifi-OS v3.1.16

Steps

  • Enable SSH on your UDM-Pro
    • Login to your UDM-Pro
    • Select Console Settings on the left
    • Enable SSH
      • Define a password
udm-pro-main-page
  • SSH into your UDM-Pro
    • Username: root
    • Password: The one defined above
  • Go to the following directory
ssl-certificate-directory
  • Backup the current certificate and private key
mv unifi-core.crt unifi-core.crt.bak
mv unifi-core.key unifi-core.key.bak
  • Issue the below command to restart the core services which will regenerate a new key and certificate
systemctl restart unifi-core
