Hi Jared,

Yes it was created as per the below article and worked for months:

Per this article we deselected the cert option, pending confirmation the certificate is still valid since we moved from 7.1 to 7.31:

Hi William,

Long time no see. :) Ya, we actually get this error when we try to enable the checkbox in JSS:

Not sure how it could break. We have our team looking into it.

Just curious...is the "-k" option in QuickAdd postflight force it to require valid cert?

Yes the -k flag will require a valid cert.

Doing some house cleaning on threads I left open-ended. Turns out "-k" tells the Casper agent to not care about the cert. Enabling the cert in JSS triggers removal of the "-k" on the client side. So if you enable the cert today and disable the cert tomorrow, clients won't call in anymore (unless you're able to add "-k" back on the client.

Adding the -k works for policies, but I found that you need to select the "Allow Invalid Certificate" box in the preferences for Casper Remote or it locks up again.

So looks like Certs signed by a private CA will not work?
