Content Management and Capture

Hello!

We are performing a containerized FileNet deployment and running into a SSL Certificate issue when we are "generating" the artifacts. 

We are following these instructions. Simplifying containerized FileNet deployment preparation and we are stuck at the "python3 prerequisites.py -generate" step.

The prerequisites.log file is still empty after we run this step.  Any chance there is another log that will tell us why the certificates are not being accepted.  We copied the LDAP Certificate from an existing FileNet DEV environment where its working fine.

Thanks, Don 

Hi Don, 

Hope all is well! 

Couple of things here: 

1. The script uses an OpenSSL client to validate the cert -- there are some requirements. All certs need to be in PEM format. PEM has the below format:
   

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
   ...
   ...
   ...
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

2. We have seen some issue the certificate validation when there is are new lines in the file -- removing those extra lines will fix it. For example: 
   

   l3HIJPWo6DxdPdrgoMRq8J+uZVcDwuS6mFtqLA7Zb2oe6sDoyYhQ6SCw+5rtcznJ
   q7IggWCiJe/DwGGd6vXi6c755zSVEQmjbO7GnzKhYufJhtzLSAw+Mwqa9WiA
   
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

3. As for the extra logging -- you can use verbose mode. We are working on improving the logging to the file -- but if you want additional logs you can run the script like this:
   

   python3 prerequisites.py --verbose generate 

   To see all options you can use the built in helper: 

   python3 prerequisites.py --help

Hope this helps!

If you are still having some issues -- please open up a support ticket! 

Best, 

Jason
