Problem: When I attempt to import my certificate into GroupWise I receive an error stating:

"Cannot import the certificate. The specified file, password or keysize is invalid"
I know the password is correct, and I've verified everything, but keep coming up with this error. Can't find any TID's relating to this.

Using Novell Certificate Server and Certificate Console Utility to export to a location.

From Tay Kratzer: Hmmm.... it works for me, and others, so I'm likely to suspect the cert or the certificate authority.

Try this, do you have a test tree? Try creating a user in the testtree, but specify the same idomain for them as you did origionally, andsee if the cert that you export from the test tree works. If it does,then you'll probably have to call Novell's NetWare OS support team tosee what the problem is with your certificate authority.
