The original problem is that when you open the Domino Console app and try to connect to the server, you get "Either the server controller is not running or not listening on port 2050." The server controller is running and is listening and accepting connections on port 2050. All the Notes.ini settings are set, etc.) Long story short, I decided to check the TLS/SSL version on port 2050 and found this:
issuer: C=US,2.5.4.17=#13053031383836,ST=MA,L=Westford,O=Lotus Development Corporation,OU=Iris,CN=DominoConsole
valid from: 2001-06-18 18:27:18 UTC
valid to: 2021-06-13 18:27:18 UTC
June of 2021 was right about when we started having trouble and have just been limping along since. (BTW, this is not the http/https certificate. That cert is completely different, set to only accept TLS 1.2 and is up to date.)
Is there a way to renew or replace this certificate, or is the only option to upgrade the server?
