Certificate database error after creating self sign cert with 9125 days

Hi,

 

Have major problem where I created a self signed cerificate on a Big-IP 1600 running 11.3.0 with Lifetime 9.125 days

 

What happen after I created the certificate with 9.125 days was that I got a error message when trying to go to System >> File Managment : SSL Certificate List:

 

General database error retrieving information.

 

 

I have a lab vmware version running 11.2.1-HF2 and did the same certificate creation with 9.125 days Lifetime,

 

then got the same msg. there.

 

General database error retrieving information

 

 

Now I can not view my certifactes or create new ones. Do anyone know how I correct this problem so I can see my certificates again?

    Thank you so much nitass, this solved the problem. I can now see the certificates.

     

    Been searching ups and downs in askF5 and devcentral for this problem with no success.
