Hi all,
I have opened a support ticket for this but I'm posting the question here as well to see if anyone else has had similar issues.
Its that time again when we have to update our SSL certificates as we have done multiple times in the past. The process is straight forward, go to Manage Domain Certificates and try to add a new .pfx cert with a password. This worked for some of our environments but now that I want to do the same for another environment I get the error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again and if the error persists contact one of the support channels available to you."
Support suggested that I try to delete some of the old expired certs to see if that helps. When I try to delete them I get the error "Something went wrong processing your request."
Has anyone else had this issue in the past and what helped resolve it?
Based on what you describe, there are two different things happening:
The first category is covered by the usual validation messages you’d see (public/private key extraction issues, wrong password, chain error, etc.). Possible errors when validating your SSL domain certificate In your case, however, you’re getting a generic platform error instead of one of those specific messages. That usually points to a LifeTime/infra problem rather than an issue with the certificate itself.
Given that:
This strongly suggests some kind of LifeTime / infrastructure issue (for example, corrupted records for that environment’s certificates, internal exception in the certificate management module, or a limit/constraint reached internally) that only OutSystems Support can fix from their side. It isn’t something you can resolve purely with configuration in Service Center/LifeTime.
What you can still double‑check on your side (to rule out the “usual suspects”):
Confirm the PFX itself is valid:
Try the same PFX on:
Check certificate chain completeness:
If all that is OK and you still get the generic “Something went wrong processing your request” both when uploading and deleting:
From community experience with similar symptoms, the resolution typically ends up being:
So in short: if the PFX and chain are already validated and the error remains generic and environment‑specific, this is most likely a platform-side issue, and the support ticket is the right and necessary path; there isn’t a known “self‑service” workaround from the UI in that scenario.
@Stefan van Deventer : Assuming this is OutSystems Cloud, the applications are hosted on IIS, but you do not have direct access to the underlying infrastructure. Since both uploading and deleting certificates are failing, this appears to be a platform or infrastructure issue that only OutSystems Support can investigate and resolve.
