UIM 9.02 +

Cause

certificate.pem not in place on HA server

Resolution

-Copy the certificate.pem from the .../nimsoft/security folder on the primary to a folder on the HA server.
-Update the robot config on the HA server to include the following with the path you put the file in (not in quotes)

example:

cryptkey=/opt/nimsoft/robot/certificate.pem

or 

cryptkey = C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\robot\certificate.pem
