    Issue:


    - We're running AdminUI, we inserted a new certificate into the
    certificate store. But this certificate doesn't show up certificate is not visible in
    combo box to select signing certificate for the entity (Signing
    Private Key Alias).

    When we reproduce this issue, we see the following error in the
    server.log of the AdminUI :

    2018-05-16 12:17:11,028 ERROR [stderr] (default task-18)
    com.netegrity.smkeydatabase.db.SmCertificateDataStoreException:
    Error creating JSAFE_PrivateKey object.

    2018-05-16 12:17:11,138 ERROR [stderr] (default task-18) Caused by:
    com.rsa.jsafe.JSAFE_InvalidKeyException: Invalid key data length,
    expected 8

    How can we fix this ?

     

    Environment:

     

    Policy Server 12.7;
    AdminUI 12.7;

     

    Cause:

     

    Looking at the AdminUI debug logs, we see that the issue occurs on
    certificate wamqasp2010, which is over due date.

    server.log

    Error creating JSAFE_PrivateKey object.

    When looking at certificate which has alias "myoldcertiifcate", we noticed that the certificate was expired.

     

    Resolution:

     

    You removed the certificate "myoldcertiifcate" from the CDS (Certificate Data Store) to
    solve the issue.
