Installer verification errors

Some or all verification steps might fail as you verify the authenticity and integrity of the Data Gate for Confluent Installer program. Here, you find a few hints that might help you resolve common problems.

Installer stops

Symptoms

The installer stops.

Causes

You have accidentally declined the product license.

Resolving the problem

Start the installer again and accept the license to continue.

Certificate verification fails

Symptoms

The certificate verification fails.

Causes

One of the following causes might be the reason for the failure:

  1. The version of the pem.chain file does not match the version of the installer run file.
  2. Certificate files might be damaged.
  3. Your certificate authority (CA) store does not contain the CA that signed the certificate chain.
  4. Your system time is incorrect, so that the validity of the certificates cannot be confirmed.

Resolving the problem

  1. If you suspect a version mismatch, compare the version strings in the file names of the pem.chain file and the installer run file. Make sure the version strings match.
  2. If you suspect damaged certificate files, download the certificate files again and rerun the verification.
  3. If you suspect a missing CA in your CA store, open the store to view its contents. Make sure that the CA that signed the certificate file is listed.
  4. If you suspect a system time mismatch, check your system time and date. If time and date are correct, compare these with the validity periods of the certificates. Make sure that time and date are within the validity periods of the certificates.

Signature verification fails

Symptoms

The signature verification fails.

Causes

Possible causes:

  • Not all downloaded files are part of the same release.
  • The run file was modified or damaged during the download.

Resolving the problem

In any of these cases, download the installer package again and retry the verification.

OpenSSL cannot be found

Symptoms

OpenSSL cannot be found.

Causes

The OpenSSL command-line tool is missing.

Resolving the problem

To install the OpenSSL command-line tool for your system, run the appropriate command.
Redhat OpenShift or Cent OS
yum install openssl
Ubuntu or Debian
apt-get install openssl
macOS
The OpenSSL command-line tool is usually preinstalled. Check the path that your terminal window uses. Add the path to the OpenSSL command-line tool if necessary.
