The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to fix Netstorage after recreating expired certificates (Netware 6.5.1 Apache/Tomcat)

Asked by uordave in Novell Netware Network Software

Tags: netstorage

We rebooted a 6.5.1 server and Apache and Tomcat failed to load. In a browser, only LDAP responded (on ports 389 and 636); none of the other web services responded, because Apache wasn't loaded.

We eventually figured out Apache was failing to load because the certificates had expired. PKIDIAG did not recreate them as it's supposed to (we tried all the options).

In ConsoleOne, we renamed "SSL CertificateIP" and "SSL CertificateDNS" by adding the word "Old" to the beginning of each, and then manually created a new "SSL CertificateDNS" and a new "SSL CertificateIP", accepting the defaults. Now Apache and Tomcat both load. The web site, GroupWise web access, and remote manager are all working. (Remote manager reports a certificate error that "Organization, CA" isn't trusted and "192.168.0.1" doesn't match "www.companyname.com"--we can live with that.)

Netstorage is still not working; the browser gives a 500 error "The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script." Apache admin (ports 2200 and 2211) are also not working.

I see TIDs that say "recreate the certificates" or "use tckeygen" or "run pkidiag." Is there a complete procedure anywhere that spells out what to do, and in what order? This seems like it should be quite simple. The client is pissed and talking of switching to Windows so we'd like to get this fixed without spending a lot more time on it. I should point out that everything was working before we rebooted the server, and the reboot happened just after the certificates expired.

I'd be most grateful for any help getting this fixed.
