APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The error is seen RBD 7.5.1.x In the egl build parts editor, when the encrypted fields like destpassword are filled with passwords, in some cases the passwords seem to be corrupted. Example passwords that get corrupted are: 12345 or 123456789 or ITDCIR21. A pattern is not discernable. Most passwords have no problem, for example itdcir21. After entering the password, if a Cobol generate is attempted , the build fails with incorrect password message. So for these passwords, it seems that after the password is decrypted, we do not get back the entered password.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Certain strings cause an invalid encrypted string to be returned. This is seen on the BuildDescriptor page on the DestPatssord or SQLPassword fields. Because the values are encrypted incorrectly, the decrypted value is not usable.
Problem conclusion
A fix has been put into the code that was causing the bad encryption. Because the problem was on the encryption, the strings will need to be re-encrypted (reenter the values in the build descriptor editor) before they can be used.
Temporary fix
