NIM certificate issues?

NIM is great, right up to the point where it stops working!

Getting this error:

0042-404 nconn: Error connecting to SSL object.
0042-406 nconn: Error verifying SSL object after connection.
405 nconn: Error with certificate at depth .

This means the client certificate for nimsh isn’t working. You might have been Googling and be told nimclient -c or niminit might fix the problem, but it didn’t for me. Here is what did:

  • Move /ssl_nimsh/certs/.0 out of the way on the client
  • Copy /ssl_nimsh/certs/client.pem from the master in place of the moved file
  • Restart nimsh – stop/startsrc -s nimsh

Fixed it for me…
