signed patches on Solaris 8
I'm trying to update Solaris 8 servers that have stopped validating signed patches (http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102639-1). I downloaded and tried to install patch 124270-01, but I got this error:
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
124270-01 are not installed onthis system.
124270-01 includes files for SUNWpprou, but I only have SUNWppro.
I also tried to import the new certificate manually. I downloaded the new certificate as /tmp/root.cert and installed it with keytool:
keytool -export -file /tmp/root.crt -keystore /usr/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -alias gtecybertrustca
Certificate stored in file </tmp/root.crt>
I still get the same error when I run pprosvc or patchadd on a signed patch. The Sun doc said to use pkgadm, but I don't have pkgadm on any of my Solaris 8 systems. Is there something else I should be using? Any help would be appreciated!
It's interesting to note that one of my Solaris 8 systems still validates signed patches, but I don't know how it's doing it because I haven't made any special changes.
