Issue
FIM console shows the following error when importing metadata:
There was a problem processing your request.
Metadata file is invalid: The following error occurred while trying to unmarshal field _x509SerialNumber of class com.rsa.fim.xml.castor.xmldsig.X509IssuerSerial For input string: "13188029099598607869"
Cause
There is an issue with the format of the certificate in the metadata.
When setting up a partner in RSA FIM it is manditory that you import the certificate chain into the JKS truststore, optionally if a certificate is present in the metadata this certificate must match that in the truststore. If you must update a partner certificate you must always update it in both places.
