We discussed the expiration of this cert already in this post. I never thought i would see this problem again. Ahhh, was i wrong. When upgrading from COREid 7 to OAM 10, the 10.1.4.0.1 upgrade drops the old (now expired) root CA over the updated ones.

If you keep the faith and keep going the 10.1.4.3 patch set replaces it with the new one that is good until 2024.

I just had the most frustrating experience. I am in the midst of upgrading OAM 7.x to 10.1.4.3. I had all the components upgraded to 10.1.4.0.1 so I got backups taken. Afterwards one of the webpass instances did not work. Upon further inspection transfilter.dll was actually removed form the file system. Strange, but no problem, i grabbed a copy from another 10.1.4.0.1 webpass.

The transfilter.dll still didn't get loaded by IIS and it still did not work. I ended up trying numerour different things. I added and re-added transfilter.dll to the Default Web Site multiple times. I uninstalled 10.1.4.0.1 and re-upgrade; still go the same behaviour. I uninstalled webpass alltogether (purged registry, etc) and installed 10.1.4.0.1 instead of upgrading an old one; still got the same behaviour.

I had given up home when i decided to try adding transfilter.dll at "Web Sites" instead of "Default Web Site". Low and behold it took and loaded. Then I tried moving it back to "Default Web Site" and it worked there too. I was back! Frustrated, but back.

I have no idea what caused transfilter.dll to disappear in the first place. I have no idea why it would not load in IIS after it was replaced. I have no idea why moving it in IIS fixed the problem. I am thankful though and if this strange occurence ever recurs I will have a strategy.
