Error: "[Mon Apr 16 12:05:05 2002] [crit]<10022>Unknown error: make_secure_socket: for address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd port 443, WSAIoctl: "

Resolution

Option (1)
Go to https://www.novell.com/download and download the latest PKIDIAG.NLM. Run the file at the server and choose options (4), (5), and (0). Once your certificates have been repaired, type in RESTART SAS at the server console and then try reloading Apache.

Option (2)
Either recreate the SSL Certificate, or create a new one.
It is recommended to create a new SSL Certificate if the current one is used by other applications.

If a new SSL Certificate is created, it is nessary to modify the Apache configuration file:

NetWare 5.1: SYS:\APACHE\CONF\HTTPD.CONF

SecureListen 443 "[NAME OF THE CERTIFICATE]"


NetWare 6.0: SYS:\APACHE\CONF\ADMINSERV.CONF

SecureListen aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:2200 "SSL CertificateDNS"

NetWare 6.5: SYS:\APACHE2\CONF\ADMINSERV.CONF

SecureListen aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:2200 "SSL CertificateDNS"


Additional Information

This is caused by a corrupt SSL Certificate.
