Usage Guidelines
Use the sam prompt-interval command to control the action taken when the system detects an exception
condition, such as an expired certificate during initialization of the SAM at boot time. The following message
appears when the software detects the abnormal condition of a certificate authority (CA) certificate expired:
SAM detects expired CA certificate. Continue at risk (Y/N):
The SAM waits at the prompt until you respond or the time interval controlled by the sam prompt-interval
command expires, whichever is the earlier event. If you respond “N” to the prompt, the boot process is allowed
to complete, but no packages can be installed.
The following message appears when the software detects the abnormal condition of a Code Signing Server
(CSS) certificate expired:
SAM detects CA certificate (Code Signing Server Certificate Authority) has expired. The
validity period is Oct 17, 2000 01:46:24 UTC - Oct 17, 2015 01:51:47 UTC. Continue at risk?
