Recovering deleted certificates in SSL
The SSL configuration contains a keystore created to hold personal certificates that were deleted from other keystores in the configuration. Perform this task to recover deleted certificates.
Before you begin
The SSL configuration contains a keystore created to hold
personal certificates that were deleted from other keystores in the
configuration. On a stand alone application server the keystore
is called NodeDefaultDeletedStore
and on a deployment
manager the keystore is called DmgrDefaultDeletedStore
.
When
a personal certificate is deleted from a keystore using the administrative
console or in a script using the deleteCertificate AdminTask, a copy
of the certificate is stored in the DmgrDeletedKeyStore
or NodeDeletedKeyStore
.
The personal certificate takes the alias of <keystore>_<alias> >
in the deleted keystore. If the alias name is already used in that
deleted keystore a <unique number> is appended to the alias.
A personal certificate can be recovered from the deleted keystore by importing or exporting the personal certificate to a keystore in the configuration. To recover a personal certificate using the administrative console perform the following steps:
