Webserver 7: importing a certificate
Hello,
how is it possible to integrate a used certificate from a WS 6.1 server (Solaris), if I don't have a private key under my new WS 7? I don't want and need to make a CSR (certificate signing request).
Where is the alias directory gone?
I have one instance, and one virtual server created.
My work in earlier days was pretty easy, I just copied all cert files
-rw-1 rootother65536 Jun 23 2005 secmod.db
-rw-1 rootother65536 Jul 6 13:27 https-appcert-key3.db
-rw-1 rootother180224 Jul 6 13:27 https-appcert-cert8.db
to the new webserver 6.1 into the alias directory an renamed them to the new hostname. Is this still possible in a similar way?

You can do it easily. There are three steps to achieve this.
Step 1:
Copy all the three db files (secmod.db, https-appcert-key3.db, https-appcert-cert8.db) to <install_root>/admin-server/config-store/<config_name>/config directory.
cp https-appcert-key3.db <install_root>/admin-server/config-store/<config_name>/config/key3. db
cp https-appcert-cert8.db <install_root>/admin-server/config-store/<config_name>/config/cert8 .db
cp secmod.db <install_root>/admin-server/config-store/<config_name>/config/secmo d.db
Step 2:
Start the admin server
Step 3:
Deploy the above config, using the following command
<install_root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user admin --host <aadmin_hostname> --port <admin_port> <config_name>

Yes, you now have cert-dbs in <WS-installation-dir>/https-<instancename>/config directory.
It will have 3 db's : cert8.db, key3.db and secmod.db
WS 6.1 cert db's should work fine on Web Server 7, manually copying them over should work or you can use Migration feature available through Administration Interface to migrate the 6.1 server.

wonderful, I didn't see the migration point, what a good feature!
So I did it,and after all as I opened the start page I got a server error:
`"This server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request. The most likely cause is a misconfiguration. Please ask the administrator to look for messages in the server's error log."
(errors)

I'm interested in " ...Reference to undefined variable $user" (?)
What's this?
