Helix documentation is moving from docs.bmc.com to docs.helixops.ai

Key pages will redirect to the new domain on May 26, 2026. However, some legacy documentation links will not be redirected. 

In-product help links might not work after migration as we transition and update them within the product.

Installation fails due to X.509 private key configuration


If the Application Server is configured to require an X.509 private key, the Compliance Content installer hangs in the Application Server validation phase. The installer cannot proceed because it creates a new shell on the server, and since the BL_X509_KEY variable is per-session, it is not valid for the new session.

The workaround is to use secadmin on the Application Server to (at least temporarily) create a secure certification, so that passwords are not required. For example:

secadmin -m default -cu root -cp password

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
