Failed to create Aveksa CA! with error code: 1

 

Cause

This is a known issue reported in engineering ticket ACM-102268. The error is caused by a missing jar file, bouncycastle-jce-jdk13-112.jar, in /home/oracle/database/lib.

 

Resolution

There is no known resolution at this time.
 

Workaround

As the root user, login in to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle server and follow the steps below:

1. Copy the attached bouncycastle-jce-jdk13-112.jar to /home/oracle/database/lib.
2. Change the user and group ownership of the file by running the command  

chown oracle:oinstall bouncycastle-jce-jdk13-112.jar 

3. Change directory to /home/oracle/deploy/bin

cd /home/oracle/deploy/bin 

4. Run modifyhostname.sh. It should successfully run without the above-mentioned error:  

modifyhostname.sh <new hostname>
