Aargh!

The livejournal effect. The missing certificates are in the patchpro package itself!


Doing

/usr/j2se/bin/keytool -import -alias smicacert -file /etc/certs/SUNW/smicacert.b64 -keystore /usr/java1.3/jre/lib/security/cacerts
/usr/j2se/bin/keytool -import -alias smirootcacert -file /etc/certs/SUNW/smirootcacert.b64 -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts
/usr/j2se/bin/keytool -import -alias patchservercert -file /opt/SUNWppro/etc/certs/patchservercert.b64 -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts
/usr/j2se/bin/keytool -import -alias patchsigningcert  -file /opt/SUNWppro/etc/certs/patchsigningcert.b64  -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts

Makes the world go round!

Google: adding this certificate fixes the "Failed to create the signature valiation utility." error of patchpro.

Later I noticed it could analyze the system, but not download the patches :-(

Thinking along the windows line, removing the ppro package and then reinstalling it makes it all work!
