NETAPP API Issues after Windows Updates

So in case you didn't notice if you are monitoring netapp's or anything else that uses a SSL/TLS connection to the API of the device you might have noticed they stopped polling.

Here is the error in the SRM Logs

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS16-111 - Important

To fix this instead of uninstalling some critical updates that provide stronger security all you need to do is update the certs to 2048 bytes and at least SHA-2. I hope this helps some people as it drove me crazy for a while.

Here is the doc to update the NetApp certs http://www.regmen.com/upload-ssh-keys-netapp-7-mode/
