Applies To:
ALM before 12.0
Issue:
HP's certificate will expire Oct 21st. Any new installations will be blocked by Windows due to an invalid cert.
Solution:
The hotfix is bundled in the war file so all we have to do is replace the war file and restart the ALM service. Should take less than 5 minutes. Should install this before Oct 22nd.
The zip file we need is located at the link below.
ftp://almcert:-On%3DCG7gx@ftp.usa.hp.com/
If it asks for a password:
Username: almcert
Password: on=CG7gx
Or email open another ticket and we will send a new FTP link to the files.
Click on proper link to begin downloading the zip file.
