ISY 99i/IR Pro stopped listening for HTTPS requests

[bbotts77]

...or so it seems.

 

I have a few web server devices on my network. So, to more easily allow internal and external access, I change the ports they listen on and use port forwarding in my router to send the requests off to their appropriate devices. For the ISY 99, I had used port 99 for http and port 4439 for https requests.

 

This was all working internally and externally until last night, when I decided I should make things a little more secure by installing an SSL cert. I can still hit the device, using http requests on port 99 (or whatever I change it to). I cannot access it through an https request regardless of the port I use or if I use its name or IP address (internal or external).

 

I have deleted the cert and key files from the device as per another thread here. I've tried cycling the power. I have not tied accessing it via https, while doing a handstand, yet. But, I'm willing to try whatever you guys think will get this working with https again.

 

Thank you,

Ben

Ok. So, a factory reset fixes this problem. Unfortunately, that means I also have to completely reconfigure this. Is there any way to extract certain config from the backup file, so I don't have to add my devices and programs manually? Or do you know which file might be hosing this up, so I can just delete that file and go from there?

Well, I got tired of waiting for a response and completely reconfigured my ISY for my devices, programs, etc... This time, I made a backup after everything was configured. So, now I'll work on the SSL stuff. However, it would still be nice if someone could speak up about what can be done if this were to happen again.

Hi bbotts77,

 

I am so very sorry to hear about the problems you have been having.

 

The problem is that the certificate for the Java application that creates certificates for ISY99 is expired and thus all the issues. Unfortunately there are only two remedies:

1. Use the default (factory reset did that for you)

2. Upgrade to 994

 

I am so very sorry.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to upgrade to a 994 right now. I fall into more of the hobbyist/geek category of your user-base.

So, there's no way to just transfer good (PEM) files to the ISY or hack a backup file to include a good cert? I am quite familiar with java's keytool and other cert utilities. I'm just not that familiar with your devices, yet.

Hi bbotts77,

 

Unfortunately not since ISY is not Linux based and thus you cannot use Java Keytool/OpenSSL ....

 

Please send an email to support@universal-devices.com and we'll try to find a one-off resolution.

 

With kind regards,
