EMC UIM/P upgrade failed

After I upgraded UIM/P as per <these> instructions and restarted the appliance, I could not longer open UIM/P Management Logon Page. The following error message was displayed:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UIM/P is unable to service your request at this time.
Please allow a few minutes to ensure UIM/P services are ready and try again.

When I installed and configured UIM/P, I used a 3rd party application to generate a Private Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) which included UIM/P FQDN, IP address and all aliases. See “HOW TO: Create server certificate and include DNS alias” blog post. I guess this is what the UIM/P upgrade utility did not like. To get this issue resolved I had to re-run ‘perl ssl-utility.pl -install server.key certnew.cer‘ command (see Step 4) to re-configure Apache private key, certificate and re-create the keystore. I then restarted the appliance and successfully logged into UIM/P Management Application.

Hope you find it useful.
