Symptoms

Depending on the order of operations, the device trust might enter a state in which the device trust connections between devices are continuously reset and messaging about self-signed certificates.

Impact

This prevents devices from being able to communicate with each other. The device trust goes to Disconnected and cannot synchronize.

Conditions

This occurs when devices are being added to and deleted from the device trust.

Workaround

A restart of the devmgmtd daemon clears any stale cached information that it has. However, the administrator may still need to reset the device trust (remove devices from the trust and re-add them).

Fix Information

The system now correctly resets device trust when devices are being added to and deleted from the device trust.
