Upgrading the test CA and sample certificates

Your EAServer installation (including client-only installations) includes a test CA and two sample certificates, which are signed by the test CA. The EAServer pre-5.2 test CA and sample certificates are signed using the MD5WithRSA algorithm, which is not FIPS approved. Running the post-5.1 installation program upgrades the test CA and sample certificates and signs them with the SHA1WithRSA algorithm, which is FIPS approved. When the server or client is FIPS-enabled, EAServer ensures that only FIPS-approved algorithms are used. If not, an error displays and is logged to the EAServer log file.

In the unlikely event that the sample certificates or db files used by the SSL runtime get deleted, you can upgrade the test CA and sample certificates by running the upgradeCerts.bat script from the command line if needed.

StepsRunning upgradeCerts.bat

  1. Go to the bin subdirectory on each EAServer installation that contains a test CA and sample certificates.

  2. Run upgradeCerts.bat to upgrade the test CA and sample certificates. This script requires the PKCS #11 PIN be set to “sybase”.

  3. The console displays a message indicating that the test CA and sample certificates have been upgraded. For example:

    Warning: About to upgrade server and client certificates
    Please ensure that the sever is not running in the following location:
    JAGUAR = d:\52
    Press enter to proceed with the upgrade..
    Press any key to continue . . .
