Error description
Error Message: N/A . Stack Trace: N/A . When the IBMPKCS11Impl provider generates an EC public key, the EC parameters within the key are represented as a collection of individual parameters even if those parameters are associated with a named curve. When a user adds that EC public key to a PKCS#10 certificate request, some certificate authorities have trouble processing an EC public key of this form.
Local fix
Problem summary
When the IBMPKCS11Impl provider generates an EC public key, the EC parameters within the key are represented as a collection of individual parameters even if those parameters are associated with a named curve. When a user adds that EC public key to a PKCS#10 certificate request, some certificate authorities have trouble processing an EC public key of this form.
Problem conclusion
Updates have been made to supporting PKCS classes that will cause EC parameters within a PKCS#11 EC public key to be represented by the OID of the associated named curve, if any. The OID will be handled more easily by certificate authorities that attempt to service certificate requests carrying EC public keys. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR4 FP10 (8.0.4.10) 7 SR10 FP10 (7.0.10.10) 6 R1 SR8 FP50 (6.1.8.50) 6 SR16 FP50 (6.0.16.50) 7 R1 SR4 FP10 (7.1.4.10) .
