Connecting to the SAP UDDI Registry Without Errors

If you create a connection profile to the SAP UDDI registry, you may encounter errors while browsing the SAP UDDI registry.

To eliminate the errors, download the appropriate public security certificate into the cacerts file of the JRE. You only need to do this once for each workstation. You can do this before or after you create a connection profile for the SAP UDDI registry. The result of this process is the ability to browse the SAP UDDI registry without receiving an error message.

    You are prompted by a Security Alert dialog indicating that the Security Certificate is not yet valid.

  3. Select View Certificate.

    The Certificate dialog opens.

  11. In a cmd window, change the directory to the bin folder of the Java SDK that is used by the tooling installation (for example, C:\Sybase\JDK1.4.2_06) and run the following single command:

    C:\Sybase\JDK1.5.0_12 \bin>keytool -import -v -trustcacerts - file C:\SAPCert.cer -keystore C:\Sybase\JDK1.5.0_12\jre\lib\security\cacerts

    where C:\SAPCert.cer is the certificate you exported and JDK1.5.0_12 is the Java SDK used by Sybase WorkSpace.

  12. When prompted for the keystore password, enter the default password for the keystore: changeit .
  13. When asked "Trust this certificate? [no]:", type yes and press Enter.

    The console displays: Certificate was added to keystore [Saving C:\Sybase\JDK1.5.0_12\jre\lib\security\cacerts].

  14. After restarting the tooling, you can continue with the next step, connecting to the SAP UDDI Registry, without error.
