Advanced Security not working

[TPok 1]

I just installed Remote Administrator Server 6.4 let it create the certificates during the Installation. They are all using SHA-1. According to the documentation I enabled the Advanced Security Server Setting because I wanted to have SHA-2 used. Then I created a new CA and certificates. But these are also using SHA-1. Restarting services does not help. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
TPok

Hello,

which type of operation system do you have? How did you verify that new CA and certificates use SHA-1 ?

Hello Katarina,

the server OS is Windows Server 2012 R2.

I did the following steps:

1. Activate "Advanced security" server setting
2. Generate new Certification Authority
3. Éxport Public Key of the CA
4. Looked at the certificate. It shows "Signature Algorithm: sha1RSA" and "Hash Algorithm: sha1"

Hello,

it is necessary to restart ERA Server service after activating "Advanced security server setting". Instructions how to restart service is in this KB article. Then continue with the step 2,3,4 written above (Generate new Certification Authority, Éxport Public Key of the CA, Looked at the certificate)

Sorry I forgot to mention that I already did this. I tried to restart the Service and the whole server. The result is always the same: SHA1

This is known issue for ERA 6.4. In ERA 6.5 this functionality will be available. I have replicated the steps, which you have written above and it works in ERA 6.5.
