Local fix
Problem summary
If the underlying HSM does not support random number seeding, then an IBMPKCS11Impl SecureRandom.setSeed( ) call will experience an exception which reports "Random number generator does not accept seeding".
Problem conclusion
Unfortunately, most applications are not prepared to handle this exception. Even if they were, there is no recovery action that the application could perform. In deference to those applications, the IBMPKCS11Impl provider will absorb this exception. In other words, the IBMPKCS11Impl provider will not throw an exception if this failure occurs. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR5 FP10 (8.0.5.10) 6 R1 SR8 FP60 (6.1.8.60) 7 SR10 FP20 (7.0.10.20) 7 R1 SR4 FP20 (7.1.4.20) 6 SR16 FP60 (6.0.16.60) .
