When you select HTTPS as the protocol for SAS^® Web Server in the SAS Deployment Wizard, the load-content stage for the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform fails. When that happens, the following errors appear in the deployment wizard:

      [DAV Restore] Java Result: 8 [echo] WebDAVRestore (9.3.004)

To resolve this issue:

• For the second maintenance release for SAS 9.4 (TS1M2) and earlier releases, import the certificate of the certification authority (CA) that signed the client certificate into the SAS private Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cacerts truststore. This truststore resides in the SASHOME\SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment\9.4\jre\lib\security directory:

Example:

• For the third maintenance release for SAS 9.4 (TS1M3) and later releases, use SAS Deployment Manager to import your CA certificates into the trusted CA bundle. You must specify the location of the site-signed certificate to the SAS Deployment Manager, which then updates the SAS Private JRE for you. For more information, see “Add Your Certificates to the Trusted CA Bundle” ("Chapter 7: Installing and Configuring TLS and Certificates on UNIX)" in Encryption in SAS 9.4, Sixth Edition.
