Anyone who has been using the Windows Admin Center for longer than 60 days will probably run into a certificate problem. The latest browser from Microsft, called Edge, will then no longer allow access to the WAC portal at all.

1) Scenario 1 - Local WAC Installation
The easiest way to get a new certificate is to initiate a repair installation. Enclosed are the necessary steps, if you have a local WAC - installation.





You could also use a separately created certificate at this point by providing its Thumprint ID to perform the necessary reassignment.



2) Scenario 2 - WAC - Gateway Installation
In order to avoid getting an expired certificate again in 60 days, I create myself a certificate which is valid for 10 years.
For this I switch to my Linux environment. In my case a WSL installation based on Ubuntu.
# Creating a cert - folder
mkdir certs

# Changing Directory
cd certs
# Generating the Cert
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes \
-keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -extensions san -config \
<(echo "[req]";
echo distinguished_name=req;
echo "[san]";
echo subjectAltName=DNS:<fqdn>
) \
-subj "/CN=<fqdn>"
# Looking for the new generated certs
ls

# Certificate conversion - CRT+Key = PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.crt -inkey cert.key -out wac.pfx

# Obtaining the certificates via Windows Explorer
\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\bruendlt\certs


The changeover process:

# extract appId

$appId=[regex]::Matches((Invoke-Command -ComputerName $GatewayServerName -ScriptBlock {netsh http show sslcert})[8], $pattern).Value

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $GatewayServerName -ScriptBlock {Invoke-Expression "netsh $using:NetshArgumentList"}
# restart
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $GatewayServerName -ScriptBlock {Restart-Service ServerManagementGateway}
#add certificate to trusted root certs

$cert = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $GatewayServerName -ScriptBlock {Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My\ |where subject -eq "$using:Subject"}
$cert | Export-Certificate -FilePath $env:TEMP\WACCert.cer
Import-Certificate -FilePath $env:TEMP\WACCert.cer -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root\
