APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Firmware 3.7.1.10
    
    Description: DataPower does not allow import of .p12 (PKCS#12)
    files with a special (meta) character in the password.
    

Local fix

  • Do not use any special characters in the password.
    

Problem summary

  • The WebGUI was not properly URL-encoding the password field
    when configuring a certificate object, resulting in special
    characters in the password being interpreted as delimiters
    rather than being passed through.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Properly URL-encode passwords
    

Temporary fix
