I installed PKI-CA several years ago on a Redhat 7 (actually Oracle Unbreakable Linux) server. I used it to create certificates for an application and have not really used it since. I had to renew the base certificates last year. That took some effort, but I got it to work. Now I am unable to connect to the web-based agent page. I copied the PKI Administrator .p12 certificate from ~/.dogtag/MyInstance/ to my laptop and installed it under “Your Certificates and the signing certificate under Authorities in Firefox. When I try to connect to the agent page (https://.../ca/agent/ca), the padlock goes green, but I get an “Invalid Credential” error. /var/log/pki/risd-ise/ca/system contains

Cannot authenticate agent with certificate Serial 0x33 Subject DN CN=PKI Administrator,E=caadmin@MyServer.MyDomain,OU=MyInstance,O=MyDomain. Error: User not found

The caadmin cert is in ~/.dogtag/risd-ise/ca/alias/cer8.db. There are actually two entries- the current one and the previous expired one. It is also in /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors

What it is looking for and where?
