Consumer server that does not support SHA-2

Replication between an IBM® Security Verify Directory, Version 6.3 or later supplier and a consumer server with an earlier version that does not support SHA-2 cannot be started.

Consider the following scenario:

Replication is set up between an IBM Security Verify Directory, Version 6.3 or later supplier server and a consumer server with an earlier version. The IBM Security Verify Directory, Version 6.3 or later supplier server has SHA-2 family of encryption algorithm as the configured password encryption method. The consumer server with an earlier version does not support SHA-2 family of encryption algorithm.

In this case, the supplier logs a message that the replication operation cannot be started with the consumer and sets the replication state to connecting. Similarly, if attribute level encryption is set with SHA-2 family of encryption scheme on IBM Security Verify Directory, Version 6.3 or later, replication to the consumer server fails to start and the replication state is set to connecting.
