-1260 FFFFFB14 PKI E CA NOT OPERATIONAL

Source

Novell® Certificate Server

Explanation

The specified server is not a Certificate Authority.

The server specified is not running the Novell Certificate Server.

Possible Cause

The server hosting the Organizational Certificate Authority is unable to read the Organizational Certificate Authority object.

Action

Configure the server such that it holds writable replicas of the partitions that hold its own Server object and the Organizational Certificate Authority object.

Possible Cause

An internal error occurred.

Action

Complete one or more of the following solutions in the order listed until the error is resolved:

- Exit and restart ConsoleOne®.
- Unload and reload PKI.NLM.
- Upgrade to the latest version of Novell Certificate Server.

Possible Cause

The Organizational Certificate Authority object has been corrupted.

Action

Complete one or more of the following solutions in the order listed until the error is resolved:

- Restore the Novell eDirectory™ partition in that the corrupted Organizational Certificate Authority object resides in from backup.
- Delete the Organizational Certificate Authority object and recreate it.

WARNING: Use care when deleting the Organizational Certificate Authority. After the Organizational Certificate Authority object is deleted, all User and Server Certificates signed by the Certificate Authority will cease to be valid and should be deleted. After the new Organizational Certificate Authority has been created, certificates for user and servers can be re-created as needed.

WARNING: Use care when deleting User Certificates. Deleting a User Certificate also deletes the user's private key. Without the private key, data encrypted using the public key in the certificate (for example, e-mail) cannot be decrypted.
