The SSL certifidate included with 8.2.1 expired on November 29. I see that 8.3.0 will include a feature allowing the Balance/MAX to automatically renew the certificate using IC2. But what about the Surf SOHO – will it only get a valid certificate when a firmware upgrade is installed?
That may work in some cases but a far, far better solution would be to issue updated GA FW for all devices – even if the only change/update was to include a new cert. That would be very"clean" and allow “normal” updates of FW.
It must be emphasized that IC2 is not any form of a solution in may cases. Indeed, it often cannot be used for a myriad of reasons.
