Hi Dennis and all,
as reported, patch downloads stopped to work yesterday. The first
problem was that there seems to be a new certificate used for HTTPS on
login.oracle.com, signed by different CA certificates than before.
While this problem could be worked around, patch downloads still failed
as login.oracle.com answered all authentication requests with "401
Unauthorized". This second problem seems to have gone away (or fixed by
Oracle) over night.
I fixed the problem with the HTTPS certs by including the necessary CA
certs in the current development release of PCA:
http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/develop/pca
Please try that and see if the downloads work again and let me know
about it. I will then release a new stable release of PCA.
Martin.
