Certificate Time Error with SSL VPN

Can anyone give me guidance on a situation with SSL VPN?
I am running the latest version for home use. I seem to have everything involving the internal network configured correctly and I have followed the directions for the creation of users, packet filters, etc on the VPN. However, when I connect I get the error "Your certificate is not yet valid-check your system time and date". I am using the same ntp server on my local pc as well as on the firewall.

Time zone setting is correct for my area.
I have imported certificate using mmc also.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Bob,

You were right on the money. All the certificates had a beginning valid date of 2020. After regenerating them all everything is working great.

Thanks very much for your time,

Eric

I had the same issue. I'm happy the wonderful folks at Sophos have had the insight to invalidate the appliance certificates out of the box by making them valid in the distant future.

What's extra special is losing connectivity to the box when you regenerate the default cert. Well done engineers
