Secure Boot Cert Rotation

Agent skill
1 skill

Triage and remediate the Microsoft Secure Boot 2011→2023 UEFI certificate rotation (CAs expiring June/October 2026) across Dell PowerEdge / iDRAC9 bare metal, Ubuntu/Linux servers, and Harvester HCI / KubeVirt guest VMs. Establishes the load-bearing fact that UEFI firmware ignores certificate expiry — nothing stops booting on the deadline; the real risk is forward-compat once a 2023-only-signed shim arrives, plus a dbx/revocation freeze — then routes to the cleanest per-platform fix: iDRAC BIOS-staged keys applied on reboot (Dell), fwupd-free manual db append that self-authenticates via the existing 2011 KEK (Linux), and the Harvester virt-launcher OVMF floor (v1.6.0) with ephemeral-vs-persistent NVRAM triage (VMs). Covers the PK→KEK→db trust chain, why no generic Microsoft 2023 KEK payload exists, and audit via mokutil / efi-readvar / racadm bioscert / Redfish.
