Converting system to trusted

Hi,

I need to convert few HP-UX (V 11.31) machines from un-trusted to trusted.
I used the HP SMH to do this on one server. However when I click on "Yes" to proceed with the conversion, I get this error :

HTML Code:
The attempt to convert this system to a trusted system failed.
The command return value was "-1" and the standard error output was: 
The system cannot be converted while shadow passwords are in use.
I googled some solutions, and they suggested using “pwunconv” command to convert the passwords from shadow to non-shadow.
But this could lead to removing the whole PHI (Password Has Infrastructure) software, and user passwords or even user accounts would be eventually deleted.

Please suggest the best way to convert to trusted system, and if the option above is used, is there a way to restore the PHI software?

Thanks,
Aigini

NE_SSL_TRUST_CERT(3)						neon API reference					      NE_SSL_TRUST_CERT(3)

NAME
ne_ssl_trust_cert, ne_ssl_trust_default_ca - functions to indicate that certificates are trusted SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_session.h> void ne_ssl_trust_cert(ne_session *session, const ne_ssl_certificate *cert); void ne_ssl_trust_default_ca(ne_session *session); DESCRIPTION
To indicate that a given certificate is trusted by the user, the certificate object can be passed to ne_ssl_trust_cert. The certificate object is duplicated internally and can subsequently be destroyed. The SSL library in use by neon may include a default set of CA certificates; calling the ne_ssl_trust_default_ca function will indicate that these CAs are trusted by the user. EXAMPLES
Load the CA certificate stored in /path/to/cacert.pem: ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...); ne_ssl_certificate *cert = ne_ssl_cert_read("/path/to/cacert.pem"); if (cert) { ne_ssl_trust_cert(sess, cert); ne_ssl_cert_free(cert); } else { printf("Could not load CA cert: %s ", ne_get_error(sess)); } SEE ALSO
