Session closed with error when uploading CA certificate
Hello, I have a FVS318N, firmware version 4.3.4-2. I'm trying to upload a CA certificate in the VPN/Certificates, but this fails. The session is suddenly closed with simply the following messa...
Time is set via ntp. It looks ok.
The certificate is ascii encoded - I pasted above the full content of the file, you should be able to check its content with openssl for instance.
I would add that the router is new (after rma due to a firmware update failure). It was first upgraded to 4.3.4-2 and only then configured by hand, screen by screen ( not from the config backup file). Nothing fancy, but I don't feel like resetting it and start over :-/

weird. As is often the case with these routers, you may have to factory reset after the firmware upgrade, as annoying as that process is.
FWIW i eventually was able to get a self-signed CA/CSR/cert generated/installed on the FVS318G device, which is very similar to the 318N. Both that device and an FVS336G are on the same firmware version 4.3.4-2. I used openssl on a Linux machine to generate the CA/certs. I have heard from Netgear that the device does not support SHA-2 family certs, and have encountered other limitations in the cert implementation that prevented me from using any FVS devices in production.
