CipherException

[Thomas Ziebermayr]

Hello,

I try to install a SSL Certificate, but during server startup the following
exception occurs:

java.io.IOE
xception: weblogic.security.CipherException: Unknown PKCS5 algorithm>
java.io.IOException: weblogic.security.CipherException: Unknown PKCS5

Does anybody knows what's wrong? I followed the instructions in the bea docs
for
installing ssl certificates.

Thanks for all replies
Thomas

Hi,
I have the following suggestions:
(a). If your private key for the WLS is password encrypted please check the Key
Encrypted enabled (under SSL) and use thejava command-line option to start
WebLogic Server.
-Dweblogic.management.pkpassword=password
where password is the password for the private key.
(Please see the doc.:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61///adminguide/cnfgsec.html#1054513).

(b). Please make sure you have the RootCA file specified correctly in the
ServerCertificateChainFileName attribute of SSL. The RootCA file can be obtained
from the vendor who provided the SSL certificates. Please make sure this is
correct.

Please inform whether the above suggestions have resolved the problem.
Thank you.
