Steps to replicate the error:

1. Create a normal Managed Certificate
2. Generate the Certificate
3. Modify the configuration
4. Save and renew the certificates
5. The failure message console will show the following error

Thanks is this in the Management Hub or in an Agent instance?

It looks like this is probably an issue related to trying to set the CommonName on the certificate signing request, which is usually the selected Primary Domain. We will be removing Common Name from CSR by default in future versions.

@webprofusion-chrisc in Management Hub

Thanks, and is there anything special about the configuration such as using a custom CSR etc? I assume under Certificate - Identifiers a set of domains is selected for inclusion and one is set to be primary.

@webprofusion-chrisc yes, i using a wildcard domain as primary, and two other subdomains as secondary
