App volume upgrade - nginx.conf and certificate

[vXav]

Today I upgraded from 2.13 to 2.16 (which was fine).

However the doc states:

Note:

All certificates that you had previously configured are retained and you do not need to reconfigure them.

Though when I logged back into App Volumes I had a certificate error.

Turns out the upgrade process had reset the nginx.conf file with these 2 default values:

ssl_certificate          appvol_self_vmware.com.crt;

ssl_certificate_key  appvol_self_vmware.com.key;

Which doesn't make sense as the procedure to replace the self-signed certificate is to edit this file with the name of the new certificate.

I guess they're right the certificates are retained, but you kind of need to reconfigure them..

Anyway, I edited the file, restarted the App Volume service and it was ok. Just thought it was a bit silly.

Could it be that the jump is to high?? Going from 2.13 to 2.16? We have upgraded from 2.14 to 2.15 and from 2.15 to 2.16 and didn't need to do anything with the certificates.

Could be that. Though you'd think that kind of things is not subject to changes across versions..

At least it's documented (if it wasn't already)
