  • Just leaving this for anyone of applied this update and got the dreaded error trying to get back to any of the Web GUI interfaces.  I had to SSH into the box, and go to:  2 - System Configuration > 4 - Reset Default Web Admin Certificate

    Then you can get into the Web GUI from the LAN side.  You then have to change your certificate for the Web GUI to something without a space in it.  Just re-import the same commercial cert you were using but make sure the name on the cert has no spaces.  Then go back to Administration > Admin Settings and set the certificate under the "Admin console and end-user interaction" to whatever you just created without spaces.

    This worked for me, but wow what an issue it was.  Can't wait to get on version 18 to leave some bugs behind.
