32.3.27 No Error Message Is Written in the Log File When an Expired Certificate Is Used for the X509 Authentication

When a user tries to authenticate with an expired client certificate, the authentication fails. The log file does not have any information about the expiration of the certificate. Browsers also do not display any error message about it.

To see the logs related to expired certificates, perform the following steps:

  1. Enable the following Java option in tomcat.conf under /opt/novell/nam/idp/conf/:

    JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djavax.net.debug=ssl,handshake"

    This option enables SSL logs.

  2. Restart Identity Server.
