Additional Information

One customer reported a scenario that caused the same error that is documented above.

The server IP address changed, which required new certificates to be created.   Follow these steps in that scenario:

1.  Delete the iManager hostnames key
At the iManager server, delete the /var/opt/novell/tomcat5/webapps/nps/portal/modules/iPrintX/certstore/cn=admin,o=novell,[DNSorIP].hostnames file. 

2.  Repair the Default Certificates
iManager -> Novell Certificate Server -> Repair Default Certficates -> Browse to the server hosting iPrint -> Select Yes - All Default Certificates will be overwritten -> Next -> Finish

3.  Restart services
At the iManager server terminal, type:
rcnovell-tomcat5 restart
rcapache2 restart
