Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Certificate Expiration Monitor might    *
*                      stop working in some conditions.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When an expired chained certificate which was not signed by
the WebSphere Application Server is stored in the root-key
file, the Certificate Expiration Monitor might fail to replace
this certificate. As a result, the entire process of the
Certificate Expiration Monitor fails to notify or replace the
expired certificates.

Problem conclusion

With this fix, the Certificate Expiration Monitor is
functional even if this condition happens.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.12, and 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to
