Cause

This problem could be caused if there is a wrong configuration for itcm-self-signed certificate in the file CBB\certstor.dat. For example :

• Missing certificate
• Wrong Computer Name

Resolution

• Edit the file C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\CBB\certstor.dat with notepad (or /opt/CA/SharedComponents/CBB/certstor.dat  on Linux/Unix)
• Remove all blocks like this (with OU=itcm-sefl-signed)

id=cert.ff27f6a7459ecb80f066f3ace25ae361c36b7697

data=

subj "CN=computername,OU=itcm-self-signed,O=ca" sn "02" skid "ff27f6a7459ecb80f066f3ace25ae361c36b7697" from 1475288865l to 1506914865l auth pvkey file "/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CBB/certdb/364AAF687A892A7FF6A95A9CBF18D5845798DA0D.der"

end

 

• Check if computer name is correct in block. Otherwise correct the name.

id=tag.itcm-anonymous

data=

CN=computer name,OU=itcm-self-signed,O=ca

end

•  Execute this command

cacertutil list -v
