IT46349: ERROR WHEN CREATING / IMPORTING SSH USER IDENTITY KEY AND SSH HOST IDENTITY KEY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After the upgrade to SI 6.2.0.1 they noticed that they are not
  able to create SSH User Identity Key and SSH Host Identity Key
  anymore. This worked fine before the upgrade when they were on
  SI 6.1.0.0.
  
  When they try to create a SSH User Identity Key (for example in
  format ssh-rsa, length 2048) they get during the creation the
  error:
  " Errors Processing error has occurred. Please contact system
  administrator and check system logs for more details. "
  
  Same occurs when they try to import an existing key via
  SI-Dashboard >> Trading Partner >> SSH >> User Identity Key.
  
  During the attempt to create the key we see the following
  exception in (extract) ui.log.D20240531.T102447:
