Certificate Authority

[Guest]

Hello:

I will like to know if there is a way to recover a Certificate Authority
that send the message "missing log file" after you restore a backup of your
server.

Thanks

The current log is missing 0xc8000210 ( EBD: -528 )

This is the exact error I'm receiving.

Did you run certutil -backup {foldername} when you performed the backup?
It sounds like you did a local copy and missed files.

Brian: this is not a backup made from the CA MCC, I restore a full backup
that I made ussing HP Data protector.

Everything else is running OK but the CA, but I don't wanto to lose it,
because I have issued several certificates to my clients.

Sounds like the log file was open and that the HP backup application
skipped the file. If that is the case you're going to have to go back to
the last complete backup.

Did you include the system state? You may be able to recover using the
system state during the restore. If you just backed up the file system,
you are probably not ok.

The only possibility is that you first restore the CA's private key.
Check whether the private key is available:
1) Open the Certificates MMC focused on the local computer
2) Verify that a CA certificate exists in the local store.

If the certificate exists, and the General page states that you have the
private key associated with the certificate, then you may be able to
restore by doing the following:
1) Remove Certificate Services
2) Install Certificate Services.
3) During the installation, on the Public and Private Key Pair page,
select to use an existing key.
4) On the Certificate Database Settings you should be able to select to
use the existing database

HTH,

That was my full backup, the only one. Is there any way to make it work
without the log file? Can I install the CA again, I have all the
certificates, the databes, and the certificate for the CA?

Please see my reply in this thread. You need more than the certificate,
you must have a PKCS#12 file containing the certificate and private key
(.p12 or .pfx).
