Error description

  • Current the self-signed certificate my server is using has
    expired. After generating a new certificate login to the server
    console and set the new certificate under Configuration ->
    Service Parameters -> General Parameters -> Web Client and API
    certificate and Save, the console cannot obtain the connection
    to the server machine and the services WDG API and WDG WEB on
    the server remain stopped. When I restart them manually, the
    console connects to the server machine but has the old
    certificate saved.
