Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Release Notes

On Linux, a runtime error is displayed during certificate creation in web services/security samples. (ID 6198239)

Description

When deploying the install_dir/samples/webservices/security sample (basicSSl) on Linux, the certificate is not created and an error similar to the following is thrown:


generate_certs: [echo] ***Exporting certificate from NSS database 
[exec] Result: 1 [echo] ***Generating Java Keystore from generated 
certificate [exec] keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an 
X.509 certificate [exec] Result: 1 [echo] ***Generating Java trust 
store from generated certificate [exec] keytool error: java.lang.
Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate [exec] Result: 1

generate_certs: [echo] ***Exporting server certificate from NSS database to 
a PKCS12 certificate file [exec] /opt/sun/appserver/lib/pk12util: /usr/lib/
libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.9' not found (required by /opt/sun/appserver/lib/
pk12util) [exec] /opt/sun/appserver/lib/pk12util: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: 
version `NSS_3.6' not found (required by /opt/sun/appserver/lib/pk12util)

`NSS_3.7' not found (required by /opt/sun/appserver/lib/pk12util) [exec] 
Result: 1

The problem is that NSS libraries are in different locations on Linux installations than on Solaris installations. You need to make sure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to the proper NSS libraries when deploying on Linux. Either set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your environment, or set it in the install_dir/bin/asant shell wrapper script.

Solution

Do one of the following:
