Is there any way to upload new certs to the controller? ie. Not using the gui?

 

I have an opnsense firewall that's auto-renewing a wildcard cert.

It comes with automations ability eg. When it renews, it the automatically uploads the cert to my synology nas.

I'd like to do the same with the controller

 

Looking on opnsense, I can see .cer, .key and .csr files. I'm guessing I can do some magic with openssl to convert the .cer to a .pem ??

 

Automations available uploading via sftp or running a remote command via ssh.

 

Thoughts?

I am looking for the exact same solution. Returning to the gui to re-upload a cert periodically is not desirable when there are plenty of good ways to automate certificate creation.

 

I've poked around a little at the UI to see if it would be feasible via wget automation, but the login flow appears to be somewhat complex.

The Omada API would be the way to go.  You'll need to modify one of the many scripts available on the internet for this specific case, but it shouldn't be that difficult.  I know there's a Python script out there (google it) and you can run that on your Synology if the router doesn't support.  I can help with some of the API commands if they aren't fully documented yet.  I'm interested as I have a similar setup...except my Synology is doing all the magic cert renewals.

I got some API commands working and uploaded a new cert in a debug environment last night. I just need to clean up my script and get it pushed back to github.

 

I'll share it as soon as I can.

I got this working locally to upload PEM cert/privkey from Let's Encrypt: https://github.com/jsestrich/omada-api/blob/main/upload_cert.py

 

You'll need to setup an omada.cfg file (see the Settings file in the README https://github.com/jsestrich/omada-api#settings).

I am using certbot on my omada server. I have created a deploy renewal-hooks script which replaces the Omada keystore and certificate after renewing the certificate. A new keystore needs to be created with the correct password defined in the omada config file. After replacing the keystore the Omada controller needs to be restarted. This has worked for me for almost a year now.

 

Hope this helps.

Quick update: I have fixed up the code to handle PEM, PFX and JKS files (all the current options in the UI). I have a pull request open to push the code back to the original author's repo, but my local repo will work in the meantime.

 

I successfully have the upload program connected to my certbot renewal hooks and have it updating regularly.

For me on OPNsense:

I created a cert for 10 years, imported on controller.

Done, well at least for now it seems....
