The way LDAP Proxy 1.6 stores the listener certificates and keys has changed from the previous versions. The nlp-install script will automatically convert the existing certificates to the new format using the nlpcert utility during upgrade. The nlpcert is a new certificate management utility bundled with the LDAP Proxy package. To run this utility, you do not require any additional configuration. For more information, see Configuring Certificate Information in the NetIQ LDAP Proxy 1.6 Administration Guide.
