Failure to create new cert

12313jimbo · Post by **12313jimbo** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 12:52 pm

Hi all, need some help.
I'm following the wiki tutorial to create a self-signed cert to replace an expired one.
When">http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title= ... ificate%29
When I get to step 2 and type the following:

keytool -delete -alias my_ca -keystore /opt/zimbra/tomcat/conf/keystore -keypass zimbra

It responds with:

Enter keystore password:

Where would I find this password? I've generated a cert before and never seen this. How do I progress beyond this step?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try 'changeit' or 'zimbra'

Kevin,

As always, thanks for the response. You are always helpful.
OK, I tried entering the password zimbra and now it responds with:

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Alias does not exist

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Interesting.. What is you skip that step and continue. Do the rest of the steps work for you?

No, it says that doesn't exist.
I have no idea what is up with that!

I have same issue.

Running zcs-3.1.2_GA_445.FC4 on FC4 ( Fedora Core 4 ).

Tried both as zimbra user and as root doing via sudo -u zimbra .

Same thing.

Followed WIKI instructions to the letter.

After each error, I started with new "instance" ( running via VMware so just recopied each time ).
No other issues with Zimbra really. Just wanted to push the cert expiry date out further.

The current cert will expire 9/11/06.

OK, it's OS dependant.

This worked for me substituting the Linux part when listed.
