Reports

General

Upgrade May Fail with Custom SSL Certificate

The upgrade of STRM may fail if your deployment meets both of the following 
conditions:

You use a custom SSL (trusted) certificate, rather than the default certificate 
shipped with STRM, somewhere in your deployment. 

The custom certificate has an Intermediate key. 

Not all trusted certificates have an Intermediate key. Verisign certificates are one 
example that uses an Intermediate key. The overall impact of this problem 
depends on your particular deployment. The upgrade may fail because the 
configuration file is missing a line that provides the directory path to your custom 
certificate key on the server.

Workaround

: Follow these steps to update the configuration file and restart 

services:

Step 1

Open the configuration file on the machine that uses the custom SSL key (normally 
the Web Server console.

Step 1

Add the directory path to your custom SSL key.

Step 2

Restart the hostcontext service using the following command:

service hostcontext restart

During a Restart, an Error May Appear Regarding the Tomcat Server

Any changes to STRM Log Management using the web-based system 
administration interface requires the Tomcat server to restart. This server may take 
1 to 2 minutes to restart. If, during this time, you access the STRM Log 
Management interface, a fatal error message appears. Do not attempt to restart 
the Tomcat server manually. Once the server restarts, STRM Log Management will 
continue to function as expected. 

Workaround

: Wait several minutes for the server to restart then access the STRM 

Log Management interface.
