APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: PB 1. Test Utimaco cause null pointer exception
    error when add PKCS11 provider, and delete certificate does not
    clear cert# entries sometimes
    PB 2. We should support SHA256 fingerprint in ikeyman / ikeycmd
    PB 3. ikeyman/ikeycmd should load IBM CMS provider via
    properties.
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • PB 1. No workaround.
    Pb 2. No workaround, only sha1 fingerprint is displayed.
    Pb 3. We can add IBM CMS Provider via ikeyman tool. No support
    to add Provider via CLI
    

Problem summary

  • PB 1. Security.addProvider(null) returns null pointer exception,
    root cause is incorrect PKCS11 provider name syntax. While
    creating certificate, PKCS11Config provider creates additional
    entries suffixed with cert#, but delete certificate sometimes do
    not delete these additional entries.
    PB 2. ikeycmd/ikeyman fingerprints only displays SHA1.
    PB 3. We can only load IBM CMS provider dynamically via ikeyman
    tool using command "Add Provider". But this command does not
    apply to CLI (ikeycmd). Ikeyman/ikeycmd need to provide support
    to load IBM CMS provider dynamically via properties.
    

Problem conclusion

  • PB 1. Add the required null pointer check and suffix PKCS11
    provider name with Token label, delete certificate deletes the
    additional cert# entries created.
    PB 2. ikeycmd/ikeyman fingerprints now support both SHA1 and
    SHA256.
    PB 3. ikeyman/ikeycmd can now load IBM CMS provider using
    property -DADD_CMS_SERVICE_PROVIDER_ENABLED=true. Note: no
    change in the existing behaviour of ikeyman tool to add IBM CMS
    provider via "Add provider" command.
