API error 400

Hi Community

When I open a certificate in Certwarden and click "Submit" without making any changes, I get a 400 Error:

An API error has occurred.
Status Code: 400
Message: error: request validation (param or payload) invalid (client address is not valid)

I'm using the current version of Certwarden and just updated the container (compose pull & compose up).

Did the upgrade break something? I don't know if the error was already present before.

Any tips for debugging?

Cheers,

Are you using the client?

A few versions ago the database had a migration to copy the subject to a new field client address. Sounds like that didn’t happen for some reason.

I don't, since I'm using only one wildcard cert and this was not compatible so far. Currently, I still use certwarden-deploy. Maybe the problem arose due to a too large version jump?

Would a new installation (Backup & Restore) be a solution? Do I lose any data?

You should be able to expand the post processing tab and see what’s in the client address field and fix it.

If your main subject/domain is a wildcard, that might have caused the problem. I don’t consider that scenario.

You shouldn’t have to backup restore though. You should be able to just edit the client address under post processing tab (e.g. delete it) and hit save.

Oooooooh, snap! I thought this information had been automatically filled in there. However, it comes from my first client widlcard test, before I opened the thread in the forum. Since then, I haven't actively changed anything in Certwarden.

Thanks for the hint. Everything is working again.
