Issue
Services failed to restart after upgrade to 8.8 while using custom signed certificates.
Logs show: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: Netscape cert type does not permit use for SSL server
Example certificate:
Cause
Authentication Manager version 8.8 uses Java version 12. This error occurred because Java 12 no longer accepts the "Netscape cert type" extension.
Resolution
Use a certificate that doesn't use the netscape extension.
Workaround
Revert back to self signed certificate.
rsaadmin@am81p:~> cd /opt/rsa/am/utils rsaadmin@am81p:/opt/rsa/am/utils> ./rsautil reset-server-cert Please enter OC Administrator username: <enter Operations Console admin user name> Please enter OC Administrator password: <enter the password for the Operations Console user>
After the certificate is replaced, restart the Authentication Manager services:
rsaadmin@am81p:/opt/rsa/am/utils> cd ../server rsaadmin@am81p:/opt/rsa/am/server> ./rsaserv restart all
