[389-users] 389 DS 1.2.6. and certificates

[Reinhard Nappert]

I have the same permissions. 

CTu,u,u  works with my previous servers. Since I did a certutil -L -d .... before the restart, I know that the database was fine before I restarted the server.

Hi

I have seen similar problems... in my case the database became corrupt if I changed it while dirsrv were running.

Also check permissions:

-rw------- 1 nobody root 65536 Aug 12 12:18 cert8.db
-rw------- 1 nobody root 16384 Aug 12 12:18 key3.db
-rw------- 1 nobody root 16384 Sep 28 17:08 secmod.db

and my CA only have CT,,

Not sure that would make a difference but worth checking.

Regards

Yes, I built it myself on 4.4.

No, it does not make a difference when I change the files to read only, before I restart the server

Do you mean 5.5?  Or did you build it yourself?

Not sure.  After running the script to generate the certs, can you change the cert8.db, key3.db, and secmod.db files to be read only (mode 0400), before starting the directory server?  Does that help?
