HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 Release Notes, September 2008

WBEM Service clients. The following warning message is logged in the
swagent.log file:
Warning: Cannot find the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
for this system, SSL certificates for WBEM Services are
created with the short hostname.
Correct this either by editing the /etc/hosts file or by
making the appropriate DNS registration. If not corrected,
the created certificates may not be acceptable to the
WBEMService clients that expect a FQDN in the common name
field of the SSL certificate.
After the hostname(FQDN) is configured, run
/opt/wbem/sbin/gen_wbem_certs to create SSL certificates for
WBEMServices. The existing certificates
/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem and
/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.pem will be moved to
/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem.bak and
/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.pem.bak respectively.
• What is the workaround? As a workaround, after configuring the host name, run
the /opt/wbem/sbin/gen_wbem_certs utility to create SSL certificates for HP
WBEM Services.
