Trying to renew a certificate - nss error 8168

[rainer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I'm trying to renew a certificate in 389 server.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html-single/administration_guide/index#renewing_a_certificate

I've created a new private key and CSR with

certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/ -R -g 4096 -a \
     -o /root/slapd-name.csr -8 name.fqdn \
     -s "CN=name.fqdn,O=org,ST=State,C=CH"


I try to import it with

certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/ -A \
     -n "Server Cert" -t ",," -a -i /root/slapd-name.crt

But this results in
"certutil: could not add certificate to token or database: 
SEC_ERROR_ADDING_CERT: Error adding certificate to database."

If I try this using the GUI, I also get the NSS error code 8168



What exactly is the problem?
It seems there is no "verbose" switch for certutil - or at least it's 
not documented.


389-admin-1.1.46-1.el7.x86_64
389-admin-console-1.1.12-1.el7.noarch
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.12-1.el7.noarch
389-adminutil-1.1.22-2.el7.x86_64
389-console-1.1.19-6.el7.noarch
389-ds-base-1.3.10.1-9.el7_8.x86_64
389-ds-base-libs-1.3.10.1-9.el7_8.x86_64
389-ds-base-snmp-1.3.10.1-9.el7_8.x86_64
389-ds-console-1.2.16-1.el7.noarch
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.16-1.el7.noarch

CentOS 7, 64bit.


Now, I tried to list the private keys with -K, I get

certutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_LEGACY_DATABASE: The 
certificate/key database is in an old, unsupported format.


Is there documentation on how to upgrade the database?
