Our DASDEC decoded another test for New Jersey today and it had the message about the expired CA certificate.

258:	RWT	REQUIRED WEEKLY TEST		'CAP1'(IPAWSCAP)	ORG=CIV 
		'Thu Jul 17 14:43:00 2014 EDT' to 'Thu Jul 17 15:43:00 2014 EDT' 
	Decoded : 'Thu Jul 17 14:47:32 2014 EDT' 
		 New Jersey(034000)	
Event Log:VERIFIED Digital Signature (NOTE:expired CA certificate.. update CAP decoder CA file!);

I contacted Jon Rue at DASDEC and he also said that the problem is on the originator's side.

[snip] ... you have the correct CA files on your DASDEC. The problem is definitely on the originators side. I confirmed that one of my test boxes got the alert on the 15^th and logged the same thing. You can set the DASDEC up so it will reject alerts that don’t have the correct signature verification if you want. You just have to check the box shown below.

Thanks John. Very helpful.

I reached out to Harold at Sage. Here’s what he said:

I'm talking to FEMA about it. The ENDEC rejects any message received via IPAWS that doesn't have a valid signature, and an expired cert in the chain is one of the things we look for.

The fix all depends on which cert in the chain is bad.

I'll let you know when I know more.

Harold

Anyone know if the Monthly ran today? Didn’t get it from IPAWS nor from WNSH. Did show the following in the IPAWS log on my Sage:

Jul 15 14:51:57 VerifyCap: verify_cap exited with error 114

Jul 15 14:51:57 Validation error for 200000215128 (114), alert ignored

Wondering if there was an issue with OEM’s encoding. Anyone?
