  • 1.  Primary certificate serial number or issuer dn is empty or null

    Posted Dec 05, 2017 01:01 PM

    I have installed new policy server R12.7 SP01 on RHEL 7.x server. I have already created Session store and using SPS for Federation. Application is working good with IDP initiate but I need to test SP-POST initiate. I am getting HTTP 500 error message from IDP side and unable to generate assertion. Following error message in SMPS.log and smtrace.log files. I am using Salesforce for SP side.

    Prior to 12.7 there was only a single option to specify the signature verification certificate alias.
    12.7 now provides two (primary and secondary) certificate verification options.
    Based on the error message possible the primary certificate verification alias doesn’t have either serial number of issuer dn.

     

    Was the policy store updated to R12.7

    You may want to open issue for further investigation

    Thanks for your response Stephen. I have already updated Policy store with R12.7 SP01. Other applications are working good except Salesforce SP-Post.

    I have already opened  a case with CA support team and working with them. CA technician already verified the setup and didn't find anything wrong in the setup.

    Hi Naresh,

     

    Can you please check if you are using exactly the same signing cert (at SP) and verification cert (at IDP) for this partnership. It looks to me that eitehr they do not match or you have NOT specified verification cert alias at IDP.

     

    Regards,
