Was just rebooting an ignition edge server.  
(did the same thing 3 days ago on a different edge server just fine)

Now  
edge can not connect to mqtt - logs  
can ping maingw fine from edge

maingw - pages of this error  
Error while accepting secure connection from /10.117.128.10: Received fatal alert: certificate\_unknown

do make SSL connections

web ssl cert is fine  
does not expire until May 2023 (2 more months)

Called CL and Opened a ticket  
sent logs

Very odd…

seems the ssl cert caching bug is still there in mqtt distb

our cert was updtaded Feb 2023  
(old expire date was Mar 19)

Mqtt distributor did not pick that up  
(so if we expired the cert for security - that would not work also)

bug

mqtt distributor module restart on maingw is the workaround fix

Did you speak to support about this?

I ask because I ran into this and was wondering if this will be fixed and when.

it has been a while

last talk w them, no hook from ignition when cert is touched/changed. so no way for cl modules to know automatically
