Problem

  • Upgrade from ITCM r12 SP1 to R12.5 fails with:

Figure 1

Environment

  • Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 2 (Build 3790)
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

Solution:

Resolution

  • Manually install ETPKI from the ITCM DVD

    The setup for CAPKI is located on the CA ITCM installation media (CD/DVD) in the WindowsProductFiles_x86\CAPKI directory.

    To install the CAPKI libraries, use the following command line:

    setup install caller=CADSMCAPKI

  • Retry upgrade of ITCM.

Cause

  • Incompatible version of ETPKI installed prevents the decryption of the ca_itrm users password.
