Defect Information

Defect ID Headline
CSCwa97806 Quovadis Root CA Decommission on cBR-8

Problem Description

For affected versions of the Converged Broadband Router-8 (cBR-8) software, some Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates issued from the QuoVadis root certificate authority (CA) trust chain before March 31, 2021 cannot be renewed from this CA. Once those certificates expire on devices or are removed from the Cisco cloud servers, functions such as Smart Licensing and Smart Call Home will fail to establish secure connections to Cisco and might not operate properly.

Background

The QuoVadis Root CA 2 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used by cBR-8 software to issue SSL certificates is subject to an industry-wide issue that affects revocation abilities. Due to this issue, no new QuoVadis Root CA 2 certificates will be issued or renewed by Cisco after March 31, 2021. This affects certificate renewals on devices, Cisco cloud servers, and third-party services.

Certificates issued before the QuoVadis Root CA 2 was decommissioned will continue to be valid. However, the certificates will not renew when they expire on either the device or the Cisco cloud server. This will cause functions such as Smart Licensing and Smart Call Home to fail to establish secure connections to Cisco cloud servers.

This table shows a summary of the QuoVadis Root CA 2 certificate expiration dates for affected Cisco services.

  • Smart Licensing
  • Smart Call Home

  • Smart Licensing

 

Note: Use this CLI command in order to determine if the new trust (IdenTrust) exists in the system. If the new trust is in the system, no further action is needed. See this example where both IdenTrust and QuoVadis are present:

Problem Symptom

Expiration of the QuoVadis Root CA 2 certificates affects these services with the associated symptoms.

Affected Services Symptoms for Affected Services
Smart Licensing Failure to connect to the server (Details are provided in this section)
Smart Call Home Failure to connect to the server and the Call-Home HTTP request fails

 

For cBR-8 devices, affected devices will be unable to connect to the Smart Licensing and Smart Call Home services hosted by Cisco. Smart licenses might fail entitlement and reflect an Out of Compliance status.

After 90 days without a Smart Licensing server connection, the cBR-8 does not allow any configuration changes. However, pre-existing licenses will still function. Some Smart Licensing symptoms are:

  • The device might indicate a failure to communicate with the Smart Licensing server within 30 days from the last successful connection.
  • The device will show the "Authorization Expired" state if there is no communication with the Smart Licensing server within 90 days.
  • The device will show the "Unregistered" state if there is no communication with the Smart Licensing server after one year and the licensed features usage become suspended.

Note: Offline licensing, such as Permanent License Reservation (PLR) and Specific License Reservation (SLR), is not affected by the certificate change on the Smart Licensing server.

For additional information, refer to the Cisco Smart Licensing Guide.

Note: The absence of the IdentTrust certificate is the problem, not the presence of the QuoVadis certificate. We expect QuoVadis certificates to be present during the transition period.

In this example, cBR-8 software lacks the expected IdenTrust Certificate:

Workaround/Solution

Cisco has migrated from the QuoVadis Root CA 2 to the IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 for SSL certificates. Cisco recommends these two options to add the new IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 certificate to the cBR-8.

  • Software Upgrade
  • Manual Certificate Update

Cisco recommends the manual certificate update as it is a quicker approach to address the issue.

 

Software Upgrade

For cBR-8 devices, upgrade to one of the software versions shown in this list in order to resolve the root CA certificate issue for affected platforms.

  • cBR-8 Cisco IOS® XE Software Release 17.3.1z
  • cBR-8 Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.6.1a or later

Procedure:

  1. Use a simple text editor such as Notepad and copy the certificate (without the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines).
  2. In order to enter the cBR-8 configuration mode, enter the config t command.
  3. Enter the crypto pki trustpool import terminal command.
  4. Paste the copied PEM-formatted CA certificate and press Return two times.
    The system should respond with "PEM files import succeeded".
  5. Enter exit.
  6. In order to write to memory, enter wr mem.
  7. Enter show crypto pki trustpool.
    The output should now contain the IdenTrust certificate.

See this example:

cBR8#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

cBR8(config)#crypto pki trustpool import terminal

% Enter PEM-formatted CA certificate.

% End with a blank line or "quit" on a line by itself.
