OPEN CALL: We just heard from a customer who is looking for step-by-step instructions about how to re-create a certificate in OES2/OES11. He'd like specifics about migrating services to a new server, re-creating certificates, test scripts to find status of your system, and whatever else you think he should know about OES administration. Anyone interested? We're offering double points if you can fill this order.

OES Open Call Articles:

  • Recreating Certificates on OES, migrating to a new server, and checking status (in a nutshell)
    Shawn Iverson responded to our OES Open Call with this nice piece about migration. His meditative approach underscores the importance of personal tranquility when approaching delicate IT procedures. Put down that Red Bull, clear your mind, and let Shawn guide you to migration nirvana. [Which Wikipedia defines as "the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished." Please let us know when you get there.]

Does the Cool Solutions Script not cover the certificates?

......about how to re-create a certificate in OES2/OES11.

Use the instructions in this cool solution and the script.

My comment to Novell is - "WHY ISN'T THIS AUTOMATICALLY DONE BY OES?"

If a community member can script everything except for deleting the old certificates and using ndsconfig upgrade to recreate them, why can't Novell just make OES automatically recreate it's own certificates when they expire? ;^D
