Instance stops when nCipher cryptographic hardware client is restarted

Edit online

IBM® Security Verify Directory, Version 6.2 or later instance stops when nCipher cryptographic hardware client is restarted.

Scenario
The following steps describe the situation in which a directory server instance might stop.
  1. Start a directory server instance. The instance is configured over SSL with server client authorization to use PKCS#11 in key storage and accelerator mode.
  2. Perform search operation by using an LDAP client in SSL mode.
  3. Restart the cryptographic hardware used.
  4. Perform search operation by using an LDAP client in SSL mode.
Reason
You must not restart the cryptographic hardware if IBM Security Verify Directory, Version 6.2 or later instance uses PKCS#11 in key storage or accelerator mode. If the cryptographic hardware that is used by a server instance for cryptographic operations is reset, then the instance stops logging appropriate messages in trace file.
