I've run into that several times. By just changing the name of the DB .. say kra to kra1, you will see what the problem is,

especially if you have acess to the directory server you are using for the repository. If the name has been created prior in the directory server,

you have to delete it from the directory server, and then it will use the name. Changing the name will make it create a new instance of the DB

with the new name.

Subject: [Pki-users] PKI-TKS Internal Database Error

Hi,

I have installed following PKI Subsystmes:pki-ca, pki-kra, pki-ocsp, pki-tks

I configured pki-ca, pki-kra and pki-ocsp withoout any error. but i encountered an error message while configuring pki-tks subsystem.

The error is "This database has already been used. Select the checkbox below to remove all data and resuse this database"

My concern is, if i check mark the option "Remove the existing data from the base DN shown above" will it remove the databases of ca,ocsp and kra?

the base DN i have used here on this wepage is dc=cactus ... the same DN has been used while configuring ca,ocsp and kra subsystem.
