Resolution
Upgrade to CAPKI 20 on the SiteMinder Web Agent using this KB.
CAPKI 5.2.20 has been compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2zq.
This solution applies to the following SiteMinder web agents:
- r12.52 SP01 cr11 and older
- r12.8
LINUX
1) Download "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" from this KB.
2) Copy "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" to the SiteMinder Web Agent Server on Linux and decompress it. This will create the directory /etpki-install/ in the same directory you placed "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip"
3) Run the Web Agent environment variable scripts
cd /<Install_Dir>/CA/webagent
. ./ca_sps_env.sh
4) Verify the Web Agent environment variables
echo $NETE_WA_ROOT
/<Install_Dir>/CA/webagent
echo $CAPKIHOME
/<Install_Dir>/CA/webagent/CAPKI
5) Stop the Web Server
6) Change to the following directory:
cd $NETE_WA_ROOT/
7) Backup the '/CAPKI/' directory by renaming it '/CAPKI.BAK'
mv CAPKI CAPKI.BAK
8) Copy the '/etpki-install/' directory from "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" to $NETE_WA_ROOT
9) Change to the following directory:
cd $NETE_WA_ROOT/etpki-install/redistrib/
10) Ensure the user has execute permissions on the installation media (setup)
11) Run the following command:
./setup install caller=wa12 instdir=$NETE_WA_ROOT
12) Verify/Modify the $CAPKIHOME variable in the environment variable script:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/webagent/ca_wa_env.sh
CAPKIHOME=$NETE_WA_ROOT/CAPKI
export CAPKIHOME
13) Run the updated Web Agent Environment variable script.
cd /<Install_Dir>/CA/webagent/
. ./ca_wa_env.sh
14) Start the Web Server
15) Validate Web Server/Web Agent functionality
16) Delete the following files:
$NETE_WA_ROOT/CAPKI.BAK
17) Check for the to the following directories:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI
/<Install_Dir>/CA/SC/CAPKI
NOTE: These directories may not exist in your system. If they do, you will need to determine which application is using them. If there are no other applications using these CAPKI instances, then they can be removed.

Directory Server Default: <Install_Dir>/CA/Directory/dxserver/lib/capki/
WINDOWS
1) Download "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" from this KB.
2) Copy "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" to the Web Agent Server on Windows and decompress it. This will create the directory 'etpki-install' in the same directory you placed "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip"
3) Stop the Web Server
4) Change to the following directory:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\
5) Backup the '\etpki-install\' directory by renaming it '\etpki-install.BAK\'
ren etpki-install etpki-install.BAK
6) Copy the 'etpki-install' directory from "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" to <Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\
7) Open a command prompt using cmd.exe as an administrator (Run As Administrator)
8) Change to the following directory:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\etpki-install\redistrib\
11) Run the following command:
setup.exe install caller=wa12 instdir="<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\etpki-install\"
NOTE: This will create the following directories:
'<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\etpki-install\CAPKI5\Windows\amd64\64\
12) Start the Web Server
13) Validate Web Server\Web Agent functionality
14) Delete the following files:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\webagent\win64\etpki-install.BAK
15) Check for the to the following directories:
<Install_Dir>\CA\SharedComponents\CAPKI
<Install_Dir>\CA\SC\CAPKI
NOTE: These directories may not exist in your system. If they do, you will need to determine which application is using them. If there are no other applications using these CAPKI instances, then they can be removed.
