APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The user observed DataPower reloading unexpectedly on sending
    web service requests against a WebService Proxy service
    configuration that defined "AES128-GCM" as "Symmetric
    Encryption Algorithm" in an "Encrypt Action".
    The Backtrace referenced the built-in
    "Executing URL: store:///encrypt-wssec.xsl"
    as the troubled stylesheet.
    

Local fix

  • Use a different symmetric encryption algorithm like AES128-CBC.
    

Problem summary

  • DataPower might restart when an error is encountered during XML
    encryption with algorithm AES128-GCM.
