APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
Neither "Creating secrets to protect sensitive configuration data" (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYHZ8_20.0.x/co m.ibm.dba.install/op_topics/tsk_bawprep_secrets_auth.html) nor "Shared configuration" (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYHZ8_20.0.x/co m.ibm.dba.ref/k8s_topics/ref_shared_images_params.html) indicate what to provide for encryptionKey in the secret. If the encryptionKey is set to an inappropriate value, such as an AES key, you see an error like this error in the IBM Business Automation Studio log files: CWWKS1856E: The password was not processed because an unknown password algorithm exception was reported.
Local fix
Revise the encryptionKey value to be a string (ASCII letters) and encode it with Base64. The encryption key is used as a password to encrypt other keys.
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
The encryption key was modified to be generated automatically; therefore, the steps to create the encryption key secret will be removed when the documentation is refreshed.
Temporary fix
