There's a reason that servers got OOB management stacks like IPMI/iKVM/... 2) getting a cert+key now and manually uploading it is quite uncommon nowadays, especially for inexperienced users thanks to ACME and projects like Let's Encrypt. Note also that we documented how to manually switch the cert since years (maybe even over a decade) and I don't have any reports of this error happening to users, definitively not frequently and that even before automatic ACME integration existed. > > Additionally, if the host with the invalid key/cert pair is in a > cluster, it cannot be accessed via another host in the same cluster > either - it's displayed as online, but *no* actions in the UI can be > performed anymore. > > I'm not sure what other implications a key/cert mismatch has, but > since it requires the user to log in via SSH, manually delete the > mismatching key/cert pair, and then running `pvecm updatecerts -f`. yes setting up wrong certificates, independent if done via UI or via API/CLI, which was always possible, or even the filesystem directly (nothing you can check there), needs to be cleaned up - nothing new there... > > Therefore I feel like this is rather important to include in PVE 7.4, > so if there are any open questions/issues with this patch, I'd gladly > answer/fix/update/etc. anything if necessary. > Manual certificate uploads are a bit of a niche use case especially since we have full ACME implementation and switching certs out of any HTTP related stack, be it PVE, a nginx/apache/... or whatever else there is, has always needed some care - and an out-of-band channel besides the thing one is currently changing (API access here). > > [0] https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4552
