This is really old version of Foreman. My wild guess is your certificate has expired.

Thanks for your response,
May I know the process to renew the certificate please?
I could see that CA certificate has expired and proxy certificate is valid till 2023

Honestly, no idea. @ekohl do we have some installer support for this?

No, there’s no support in the installer to renew certificates. There may be in the one for Katello but 1.10 is so long ago that I really don’t know what’s in there.
