Trading Networks cannot convert byte[] to java.security.cert.X509Certificat when installing cert.

Attempting to update partner profile with new security cert in wM TN (8.2) and receiving “Cannot convert byte to X509Certificate, exception encountered at index 1. CertificateException encountered; Trading Networks cannot convert byte to java.security.cert.X509Certificat.”

Examination of the certificate and CA certs in the chain does not reveal anything unusual. All three certs are SHA-256, RSA 2048 bits.

Any clarification of the error message or assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mary

Workaround:

Import the certificate via Trading Network (TN) Console for the affected partner profiles.
TN Console > Trading Partners (Deprecated) > "the partner profile you want to add your certificate to" > "Security" Tab > Edit to import the certificate.

Resolution: TN_8.2_SP2_MWS_Fix11 officially addresses the issue:

Hi Mahesh,

I was loading each cert individually. When I loaded the .p7b file, it worked.

Thanks for the tip!
