I'm trying to generate my reports from the Test Module Service in SystemLink Server. When I click 'Generate Report', I get the following error:

How can I fix this issue and remove this error from my system?

Solution

If you are getting this message, it means that you have an invalid or expired certificate. In order to fix this issue, please use one of the different approaches mentioned in this article to generate a valid certificate signing request (CSR).

After this, please restart the NI SystemLink Services using the NI SystemLink Server Configuration tool to reflect the changes. Here is a reference:
