[389-users] Re: Trying to renew a certificate - nss error 8168

Not sure what the problem is, but if you create a second test DS
instance, can you import it there?

Maybe remove the old cert first?  If you try that though please make a
backup of these files under /etc/dirsrv/slapd-INST: cert8.db, key3.db,
and secmod.db in case it doesn't work.

HTH,

Mark
