Check the pki library versions with the following command

rpm ‑qa | grep ‑i pkia

In this case the Administration Console was running an older version of the following rpms:

novell-npkiapi.i386.rpm
novell-npkit.i386.rpm

Even though the Administration Console had been patched to 3.1 SP1, the rpms were still at 3.1 FCS.
Updating these packages to the versions shipped in 3.1 SP1 solved the problem.

Use the command:
rpm -Uhv novell-npkiapi.i386.rpm
to update each package and restart Tomcat with the command
/etc/init.d/novell-tomcat5 stop/start
