Error description
TPC upgrade from 5.2.7.0 to IBM Spectrum Control 5.2.8.0 failed with error: "BPCIN0258E The LDAP configuration export did not succeed. For more information, review the log files, and in the LDAP export command output, search for "exportLDAPRepositories"." In the install log, the following messages can be found: 2015-12-16 14:17:48.301+0100 INFO TPCUtility exportLDAPRepositories52 cmd=[cmd.exe, /c, ""D:\Programs\IBM\TPC\ewas\profiles\WebServerProfile\bin\wsadmin .bat", -lang, jython, -username, XXXXXXXXXXX\tpcadmin, -password, ********, -f, "C:\528\TPC\scripts\tip\exportLDAPRepositories.py", "C:/Programs/IBM/TPC/config/ldap.conf", "C:\528/TPC/scripts/tip/""] 2015-12-16 14:17:51.863+0100 INFO TPCUtility exportLDAPRepositories52 outputStream cmd result=WASX7023E: Error creating "SOAP" connection to host "localhost"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorNotAvailableExce ption: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: java.io.IOException: Exception during sslSocket.startHandshake: Received fatal alert: certificate_expired; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket: java.io.IOException: Exception during sslSocket.startHandshake: Received fatal alert: certificate_expired] TPC installer tries to run a wsadmin WAS specific command running a script to try to export any LDAP info.

Local fix
Renew security certificates for WAS server in TPC: WAS WebServer Open TPC Web GUI, e.g. https://<tpc_host_or_ip>:9569/srm and there go to Settings > User Management. On the User Management page, click Modify authentication mechanism. The WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console is displayed in a separate tab on the web browser. Then in WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console do the steps from the following link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.i bm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tsec_7renewcecacert.html?cp=SSAW57_8.5.5% 2F1-8-2-33-4-1-3 a) Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > NodeDefaultKeyStore > Personal certificates b) Select the default chained certificate, and then click the renew button. c) Save the changes to the master configuration If those steps do not solve the expired certificate issue for WAS WebServer, it's possible that one of the following keystores still have certificates that are expired: <TPC_install_dir>\TPC\ewas\profiles\WebServerProfile\etc\key.p12 <TPC_install_dir>\TPC\ewas\profiles\WebServerProfile\etc\trust.p 12 In that case, do a backup for those, and then copy the key.p12 and trust.p12 from <TPC_install_dir>\TPC\ewas\profiles\WebServerProfile\config\cell s\WebServerCell\nodes\WebServerNode to <TPC_install_dir>\TPC\ewas\profiles\WebServerProfile\etc and then restart WAS WebServer.
