Troubleshooting
================
+Update an outdated certificate after Cert-Manager was down
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When a certificate expires because Cert-Manager was not able to trigger the update on time, for some CMPv2 servers, e.g.
+EJBCA, there are manual actions required to perform the update.
+Given the expired certificate status is *READY=False*:
+
+ 1. Edit the cert resource. It can be e.g. a small change in SANs.
+ 2. Use the cert-manager plugin *renew* command to trigger the update manually.
+ 3. Edit the cert again to revert the changes.
+ 4. Trigger the update manually.
+
+The certificate should now be alive and updated correctly.
