This indicates that the Tera 2 PCoIP Zero Client is not being managed by the PCoIP Management Console and can be one of several reasons:

  • Not powered on
  • Firmware has been downgraded to 4.x so no longer manageable by PCoIP Management Console 2.x and 3.x
  • NTP time not set and PCoIP Zero Client is getting cached time that is prior to valid certificate date.

To resolve this issue ensure the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client is powered on and running firmware 5.x or newer. You may want to check either the PCoIP Zero Client log file or the Management page, both can be done from the web interface of the PCoIP Zero Client.

In the log file below notice that the Current time is the last cached time and it is prior to the valid date of the certificate....

0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:-500       MGMT_PEM :1) Leaf certificate NOT YET VALID (CACHED TIME USED)
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:-500       MGMT_PEM :   subject localhost
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:-500       MGMT_PEM :   issued by localhost
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:-500       MGMT_PEM :   valid from 2015-07-29 22:09:28 to 2023-10-15 22:09:28
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :Certificate store has 0 trusted root/intermediate certificates.
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :Validity setting: Check certificate validity when the current time is known
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:-500       MGMT_PEM :Validity result: NOT YET VALID (CACHED TIME USED)
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :Using cached time...
0d,00:00:16.63> LVL:2 RC:   0       MGMT_PEM :Current time is '2015-03-20 21:03:27'

In the above example simply setting NTP time resolved the issue.
