NodeManager:

[Security:090482]BAD_CERTIFICATE
alert javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException

Recently I cloned an OAM VM. When I started NodeManager for the cloned machine, I got
below errors:-
06-May-2014 10:58:08 weblogic.nodemanager.server.Handler run
WARNING: Uncaught exception in server handlerjavax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException:
[Security:090482]BAD_CERTIFICATE alert was received from newmachine.OraWorld
127.0.0.1. Check the peer to determine why it rejected the certificate chain (trusted CA
configuration, hostname verification). SSL debug tracing may be required to determine the
exact reason the certificate was rejected.

The cause of the above issue was the certificates corresponded to the old machine. So, there
are two ways to solve it.
1. Disable Flags Workaround
Put the following flags at the right places.
Node Manager: -Dweblogic.nodemanager.sslHostNameVerificationEnabled=false
Admin Server: -Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true
2. Recreate the Certificates The recommended way.
Node manager by default uses the WebLogic demo identity keystore. The keystore is
generated at install time using the CertGen utility. The generated private key uses the
common name (cn) resolved by Java.

2.1 Set the PATH
. $WL_HOME/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh

2.2 Backup DemoIdentity.jks under $WL_HOME/server/lib
2.3 Generate the private key.
java utils.CertGen -keyfilepass DemoIdentityPassPhrase -certfile newcert -
keyfile newkey

2.4 Import the key generated above to the keystore.
java utils.ImportPrivateKey -keystore DemoIdentity.jks -storepass
DemoIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase -keyfile newkey.pem -keyfilepass
DemoIdentityPassPhrase -certfile newcert.pem -alias demoidentity

2.5 Copy DemoIdentity.jks to $WL_HOME/server/lib
2.6 Restart your nodemanager
