Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Renewing an SSL certificate in Advanced Security
Yes, I have the initial certificate installed via orapki, and SSL works
beautifully. It's obtaining a new certificate when the original expires
that I'm having trouble with. I tried the process with OWM as you
suggested, and that seemed to work. It seems that orapki was something of
an afterthought to Oracle. It's too bad: I really wanted to script the
whole process, but this is the second activity I've run into that requires
OWM (the first was removing unused trusted certificates). Unless, as Amir
suggested, I create a new wallet and replace the old one.
