I ran into this issue a few weeks ago, but only my CA cert was expired as my master certs were a few years newer than CA. There are a couple blog articles I found (lost URLs) that pieced together these steps to renew CA cert. For clients you just have to remove then re-download the CA cert once those are renewed. For renewing the master certs, it's same as client certs I believe where you delete the client cert from /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl and then do something like "puppet cert clean ..." to remove expired cert from CA and then rerun Puppet on client to generate new cert then sign it with "puppet cert sign ...". The commands to clean / sign are different for Puppet 6 as they go through puppetserver, so my pseudo examples maybe wrong as I haven't used Puppet 5 in a while.
