PIX 515 - CA config not synced to failover unit?

Jun 23, 2005 2 Replies

Hi, Cisco wizards!



Subject says it: I have a HA/failover pair running 6.3.4.



I connected the PIX to an MS CA on Win2K server.



ca identity ca configure ca authenticate ca enroll



Everything went as expected, VPN clients can connect.



Then we had a failover - seems like "write standby" does not sync the firewall and CA certificate?



Is this documented somewhere? Should I just enroll both systems with the CA?



Thanks, Patrick


hiii

this is because u have create a seperate identity certificate for the other pix firewall. two devices can not have the same single certificate.

so u have to manually enroll the other pix firewall with MS CA.

OK. That's what I figured anyway.

I just wanted to add that seemingly you can't enroll the firewall that is currently in passive mode. So you have to enroll the active firewall, force a failover, then enroll the second node.

Just in case somebody else faces the same problem.

Thanks for your help. Patrick
