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.
