LetsEncrypt Certificate untrusted on XG 18.0.4 MR4

Hi Folks

I have a problem with importing a certificate (pfx) into Sohpos XG [SFVH (SFOS 18.0.4 MR-4)].

I have a LetsEncrypt certificate which covers 3 domains including wildcards for the domains in the SAN list.
The certificate is in PFX format (private key + fullchain cert). When I import (upload) the pfx file into
the system everything works fine (green confirmation). The cert is added to the store but "Authority" shows a red cross instead
of a green checkmark. This results in the certificate not available for Web-Publishing rules.

If I import the same certificate (pfx) into XG 18.0.3 MR3 everything is fine and I can use it for Web-Publishing.

The LetsEncrypt certificates trust chain is

DST Root CA X3 -> R3 -> mydomain.org

So what's the problem here ? What's the difference between MR3 an MR4 ?
When I check CA certstore of the MR4 system I can see that both chain members

- DST Root CA X3
- R3

exist in the store.

So this is weird.

Any idea.

  • hi,

    when you mouse over the red cross in the certificate list it displays: "Expected issuer /C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=R3"

    so i searched for the active Let's Encrypt R3 intermediate certificate, replaced the cert authority and my Let's Encrypt certificate goes green again ;-)

    more detailed steps:

    1. Go to Menu section "System" -> Certificates -> Certificate authorities

    2. Filter "name" for "lets" to search for letsencrypt entries. There should be one entry. Click on the name or the edit-pencil on the right.

    3. Dowload https://letsencrypt.org/certs/lets-encrypt-r3.pem or read the instructions on https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/

    4. Choose the downloaded file for "Certificate *" and save the entry.

    5. click on the tab "Certificates" and check the Authority or your Let's Encrypt certificate.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    That worked like a charm. Although I had to delete my certificate and re-import again. After that I had the green checkmark.

    I wonder what is wrong in Sophos Cert-Chain. Did they import an old version of R3???

    I mean R3 is valid from Sept 2020 - Sept 2025.

    Regards,
