Although efficient in order to maintain DNS entries and keeping track of your servers this can cause issues regarding CAPKI. Below is the way to correct the installation location that may have been altered from a prior installation. This is mostly used if the issue arises and you have environmental restraints regrading directory location.


    Before the installation, the customer just need to make sure CAPKI is uninstalled, and /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic/CAPKI is removed.

    # env | grep CASHCOMP

    CASHCOMP=/opt/CA/SharedComponents

    **This will check the local variables for cashcomp to show the location where it would be installed**


    **If CASHCOMP is set to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic, we need to run the following to remove/set it to the correct location.


    # unset CASHCOMP
