How do I create a new certificate for Windows Admin Center??
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work anymore with v2410.
It just yields "connection refused."
I just upgraded to v2410 and the "connection refused" error is caused due to the service crashing.
This is what I could find in event viewer:
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.InvalidOperationException: The requested certificate PWDVANB20001.local could not be found in LocalMachine/My with AllowInvalid setting: False.

I have tried this approach with several Certificates:
- Self Signed
- No self-signed, certificate (official)
- .cert, .pfx (pwd and no pwd), and p12
No luck making this work
did you find any solution, last week did a fresh install, and generate new certificate following the DOC of WAC but this break the system, I am using core, so I am having a lot of issue solving this.
Can you please help me I was running an older version inorder to do a inplace upgrade I downloaded the latest exe of 2410 v2 got it installed but when I signed in to portal I found everything missing .
is it normal isn’t it should copy all my configuration details from previous running version please help
Hello, could you please tell me if you have found any solution to this issue? I recently updated to v240 and encountered the exact same problem. When trying to replace the certificate (using all the methods you tried), I get the same error. I also tried tinkering with appsettings.json (as was allowed before) but without success. Which version would you recommend rolling back to if there is currently no solution to this problem?
No luck so far... I'm waiting for official feedback from Microsoft, I am using the self-signed cert until they fix it.
It sucks but I cannot afford having the operation stopped.
Hopefully MS will provide some feedback soon.
Have you found any solution for this issue ?
