GSKit: PKCS#11 and JRE addressing mode
If you use iKeyman or iKeycmd to administer certificates and keys for PKCS#11 cryptographic hardware note that the addressing mode of the JRE for these tools has changed from IBM® WebSphere® MQ 7.1.
In earlier releases of IBM WebSphere MQ, on the following
platforms the JRE was 32 bit however in IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1 or
later, it is 64 bit only. Where it has changed you might need to install additional PKCS#11 drivers
appropriate for the addressing mode of the iKeyman and iKeycmd
JRE. This is because the PKCS#11 driver must use the same addressing mode as the JRE. The following
table shows the IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later JRE addressing modes.
Platform | JRE Addressing Mode |
---|---|
Windows (32 bit or 64 bit) | 32 |
Linux® for System x 32 bit | 32 |
Linux for System x 64 bit | 64 |
Linux on POWER Systems - Big Endian | 64 |
Linux for IBM Z® | 64 |
HP-UX | 64 |
Solaris Sparc | 64 |
Solaris x86-64 | 64 |
AIX® | 64 |
