Apache caching old certificate?

HI All-

(this is OOD 3.x on RHEL 9.2)

Trying to replace the soon-to-expire SSL certificate presented by OOD to clients; I made no changes to the portal.yml or the derived apache config file-I just renamed the old certificate to “our_ood_host.cer.old” and copied the new one in. as “our_ood_host.cer”, then restarted httpd via systemctl as I would normally…except, the old certificate is mysteriously the one that I see in my browser. Is there a cached copy for these somewhere that I’m not finding?

Thanks for the help!

Hi and welcome!

A quick google search seems to indicate that certificates are cached by some browsers. I’d suggest trying a different browser or in private mode. This will indicate whether the new certificate is being served and if your browser has the old one cached.

Seems like clearing the browsers’ cache would clear these certificates too if you find that it’s being cached on your browser.

Doesn’t seem to be a browser issue; different browsers on totally different devices show the same (wrong) certificate coming from our OOD host…

OK - looking online seems to indicate you should stop then start instead of restarting. Also an httpd -S while it’s running may give a clue as to what’s being loaded.
