I work at FGV. We have Dataverse with Handle. After configure Handle, we weren't able to upload files, or even create a new data set. When we tried, the following error rised in log file:

 [#|2020-02-28T08:26:46.138-0300|SEVERE|glassfish 4.1|edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.HandlenetServiceBean|_ThreadID=50;_ThreadName=jk-connector(4);_TimeMillis=1582889206138;_6138;_LevelValue=1000;|
  Can't load private key in /hs/svr_1/admpriv.bin: java.lang.NullPointerException|#]

We found that the problem was the encryption. By running /hs/handle-9.0.3/bin/hdl-keyutil   /hs/svr_1/admpriv.bin  again and by choosing option '2: Save private key without encryption' the dataverse works nicely with handle.

So, Is It extremally necessary to encrypt admpriv.bin ?

Best regards,

Alexandre

I'm glad you found it on your own.

Would Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) like to be on the map at https://dataverse.org/installations ? :)
