Environment
Dx NetOps Performance Management 23.3.4 and earlier
Cause
3rd party tool updates
Resolution
This issue is resolved in DX NetOps 23.3.5 and later:
Symptom: After enabling HTTPS for NetOps Portal for the Single Sign-On website using the SSL Configuration tool (SslConfig), the NetOps Portal services do not fully run HTTPS because the keystore was not owned by the installation owner.
Resolution: With this fix, SslConfig now changes the owner of any new/modified files to the installation owner. In addition, SslConfig now can import the initial or updated signed certificate into the keystore.
(23.3.5, DE551477, 33283961)
Until able to upgrade, to work around the problem, run the following copy command on the Portal web server terminal CLI as the install owner.
cp /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/PC/webapps/pc/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-slf4j2-impl-2.20.0.jar /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/Tools/lib
The SslConfig command should no longer return the error. If it does open a new Support Case referencing this Knowledge Base article.
