New Post: Unable to publish updates due to WPP certificate problem

Hi there,

I had used the WPP-Servant to create this self-signed certificate by clicking on "Generate the Cert" button and placed it into "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and "Trusted Publishers" certificates folder of WPP-Servant. However, after I restarted WPP-Servant and click on the "Connect to Server" button, it displays an error message, "The certificate is invalid. You will not be able to publish updates". Is there some problems with the WPP's generating of certificate? Presently, I am using the latest version of WPP, Release v1.3.1401.04.

Anyway, the reason I am adopting this WSUS architecture is due to security reasons as we do not want our client workstations to have any access to WSUS-Main and WSUS-SQL. Hence, I need to deploy this updates from WSUS-Servant.

Example of our WSUS Architecture:
WSUS-Main -> IP Address: AA.XX.XX.XX
WSUS-SQL -> IP Address: AA.XX.XX.XX
WSUS-Servant -> IP Addresses: AA.XX.XX.XX and BB.XX.XX.XX
Client Workstations -> IP Address: BB.XX.XX.XX
