Unable to Access Web User Interface via HTTPS

221602
Created On 09/25/18 20:34 PM - Last Modified 07/11/24 13:23 PM


Symptom


  • SSL-TLS profile with certificates has been configured for HTTPS authentication to Firewall.
  • After few days of operation, HTTPS access is not working
  • SSH is working fine.


Environment


  • Palo Alto Firewall.
  • PAN-OS 8.1 and above.
  • Management access using HTTPS
  • SSL-TLS profile configured.


Cause


The certificate is expired or there are other issues with the certificate. The web server process is not allowed to run on expired certificates as a standard security practice, which makes the GUI inaccessible.

Resolution


Option1:

  • If the SSL TLS profile used for management is known delete the same. This way the management access starts using the default certificate.
  • For example, The following command deletes the SSL TLS profile used for HTTPS access named profile-1

> configure
# delete deviceconfig system ssl-tls-service-profile
# delete shared ssl-tls-service-profile profile-1
# commit
# exit

​​​​​
Option2:
  1. Since SSH access is possible, a new certificate can be created from the CLI.
  2. Add the certificate to the SSL TLS profile
  3. Use the newly configured certificate and SSL profile to be used for HTTPS.

Example below:

> request certificate generate ca yes certificate-name <cert name> name <IP or FQDN> algorithm RSA rsa-nbits 2048
> configure
# set shared ssl-tls-service-profile <profile name> certificate <cert name> protocol-settings min-version tls1-0 max-version tls1-2
# set deviceconfig system ssl-tls-service-profile <profile name>
# commit
# exit

 



Additional Information


To view the configured SSL-TLS-Service profiles, use the highlighted commands in configuration mode.
FW> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
FW#
FW# show deviceconfig system | match  ssl-tls-service-profile
FW# show shared ssl-tls-service-profile
FW# exit
Exiting configuration mode
