In Enterprise Manager Database Control with Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5, the root certificate used to secure communications via the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol will expire on 31-Dec-2010 00:00:00. The certificate expiration will cause errors if you attempt to configure Database Control on or after 31-Dec-2010. Existing Database Control configurations are not impacted by this issue.
If you plan to configure Database Control with either of these Oracle Database releases, Oracle strongly recommends that you apply Patch 8350262 to your Oracle Home installations before you configure Database Control. Configuration of Database Control is typically done when you create or upgrade Oracle Database, or if you run Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant (EMCA) in standalone mode.
