Troubleshooting
Problem
You might encounter errors while trying to generate a 4096-bit RSA key on the HSM of a WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance using the keygen action. On the 9235 platform generating 4096-bit RSA keys on the HSM is not supported. On the 7198/7199 platforms generating 4096-bit RSA keys on the HSM is supported, but the operation will occasionally hit a timeout instead of succeeding.
Symptom
4096-bit RSA HSM keygen will fail with one of two error messages.
