Issue/Introduction

While following TEC1380954 you may receive the following error when deleting the existing key according to step 6:

keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore .keystore -storepass changeit -keypass changeit -keysize 2048 -dname "cn=<hostname>" -validity <days>
keytool error: java.security.CertificateParsingException: Empty issuer DN not allowed in X509Certificates

Environment

UWCC 11.3+

Cause

For some reason, the keytool tool does not recognize the dname value. Possible there was some typo in the command. At this point, the delete from step 5 also brings up this error.

Resolution

The TEC doc asks you to back up your original keys in step 4. Restore that key, try steps 5 and 6 once more. If it fails again, restore the key again and continue from step 9.
