SOLVED Minio not reverting to insecure connection after removing certificate

[boomshnka]

I have Minio working on 12.0 U2.1 with a self-signed certificate. I would like to change the configuration to not use a secure connection any longer but after removing the certificate, I still get redirected to the secure connection and the original certificate is used. Is there something else needed to get Minio to stop forcing a secure connection? Thanks.

And if it matters, I can swtich to a different certificate without issue.

How did you remove the certificate? Did you use the pulldown under the S3 service to select the --- setting? Afterwards, did you restart the S3 service by blipping the toggle?

 

[boomshnka]

Yes and yes. And if I just replace the certificate I don't need to blip the toggle to restart the service to get the change to take effect.

OK, then you may need to manually whack the cert and associated private key in /usr/local/etc/minio/certs, after shutting the service down. Then try restarting the service.

Thanks. I can confirm that removing the cert and key fixed it. Also, I found that rebooting the truenas appliance will also remove those files.
