APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In recent penetration test, DataPower would be flagged with using 1024-bit DSA host-keys which is being too small. This is due to newer SSH specification which has deprecated DSA.
Local fix
Disabling DSA in the user's administrative SSH clients would mitigate this issue.
Problem summary
The device will no longer automatically generate DSA keys; existing keys will continue to function and new keys can be generated if explicitly called.
Problem conclusion
Fix is available in 2018.4.1.13 and 10.0.0.1 For a list of the latest fix packs available, please see: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/83105
