Certificate problems

A certificate policy has been implemented to ensure that LifeCycle Manager Clients and Services are connected to an authentic LifeCycle Manager Server. This can cause problems when upgrading from earlier versions of LifeCycle Manager if the name resolution is not working perfectly on your network.

In this version of LifeCycle Manager, the IP address or server name that you specified during installation of the LifeCycle Manager Server and stored in the server.host property in the lcm.properties file, is written in the LifeCycle Manager Server’s certificate. All clients and services connecting to the LifeCycle Manager Server must connect to the server using this IP address or server name.

However, if you are upgrading from earlier versions of LifeCycle Manager, a certificate has already been generated containing the server name. If clients and services cannot access this server name, then communication with LifeCycle Manager Server cannot be established.
