Preparation

Contact your hosting service provider to work with files on the host server.

NetBilling certificate is trusted by Equifax. Since the standard java cartcerts file doesn't include Equifax public certificate, H-Sphere returns 'Connect error, untrusted server cert chain' when trying to connect to the merchant gateway. The following are the solutions:
A. If you have got the default java cacerts file and you have never changed it, you can simply replace it with the cacerts file offered by psoft:
/usr/java/<java home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts
B. If you need to keep your cacerts file, you can fix this problem using the keytool feature available in the standard java installation:

1. Download equifax.crt.cer file:
   wget http://www.psoft.net/shiv/files/merchants/equifax.crt.cer
2. Place equifax.crt.cer in the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/ directory
3. As root, allow read/write access to the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/cacerts file
   chmod 666 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/cacerts
4. Log in as the cpanel user:
   su -l cpanel
5. Go to the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/ directory:
   cd /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/
6. Run the following command:
   keytool -import -alias equifax -file equifax.crt.cer -keystore cacerts
7. When prompted, enter the password (the default password is: changeit)
8. When asked to trust the certificate, enter: yes
9. As root, change permissions back on the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/cacerts file:
   chmod 444 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/security/cacerts

If not:

1. Get registered with the NetBilling and obtain the direct-java-2.3.3.jar file.
2. Put the lib file into in the directory ~cpanel/java_rt/.
3. Edit /hsphere/local/home/cpanel/apache/etc/jserv.properties to include the following string:
   wrapper.classpath=/hsphere/local/home/cpanel/java_rt/direct-java-2.3.3.jar.
4. Restart H-Sphere
