This shouldn't affect it all The process you are doing was done by many GridPP sites last year when implemented the changes. It doesn't rely on any new code in either the 1.6 or 1.7 compatible versions of CW Cheers JK -----Original Message----- From: Testbed Support for GridPP member institutes [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stephen Jones Sent: 20 March 2013 16:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: CertWizard + Java Hi Daniela, I'm specifically interested in whether this problem might impact the delivery of host certificates without email addresses. I'm in the midst of a "mini-project" to try out (and document) a process for changing all the host certificates in our cluster. Is your problem likely in any way to affect that, or is it a separate problem that affects "normal" users?
