PK86031: ADMINTASK.MODIFYSSLCONFIG UNABLE TO MODIFY NEWLY ADDED CERT DATA IN WORKSPACE TEMP, ERROR CWPKI0672E

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

WebSphere 7.0.0.x

Certificates added using AdminTask can not be modified with
AdminTask.modifySSLConfig unless an AdminConfig.save() is
performed before the modifySSLConfig.

Example error :
CWPKI0672E: Alias "test_alias" is not a personal certificate in
key store "CellDefaultKeyStore".

The modifySSLConfig command should read the key.p12 file from
the workspace temp  - if there is any - and not just from the
config repository.

The problem with executing the save operation is as follows:

For stable automation it is important that one script is
executed as a unit.

If one command fails in this script, the whole commands in this
script could be "rolled back". This is perfectly possible with
the design of wsadmin. You execute your wsadmin commands and
they do the changes only in your workspace temp. If one of your
commands fail and you exit wsadmin, none of your previously
executed commands will get saved.  Only at the end of your
procedure you call the save operation and all changes get saved
together.

However, if I have to do a save operation between these commands
the first changes are already commited to the config repository
although it is not assured that the next commands will succeed.
This could end in an inconsistent configuration state.

Local fix

After creating certificate with AdminTask, perform
AdminConfig.save() operation so modifySSLConfig will succeed.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New certificates in keystore in         *
*                      in the workspace can not be accessed    *
*                      by modifySSLConfig and                  *
*                      createSSLConfig tasks.                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When certificates are create in keystores that are in the
workspace and that keystore has not been saved the
modifySSLConfig and createSSLConfig tasks does not find the
new certificate because it does not look for the keystore in
the workspace.

Problem conclusion

Make sure the modifySSLConfig and createSSLConfig tasks look
for a keystore when verifying the a certificate's existance.
