Troubleshooting


Problem

CMS keystores created with GSKit on Linux for DOORS 9 on Windows fail with GSK_ERROR_ASN: Linux GSKit uses PBES2 by default, which Windows GSKit does not support

Symptom

DOORS client log can show messages like these: 
<time stamp> <pid>: Calling gsk.environment_init
<time stamp> <pid>: Returned [GSK_ERROR_ASN]
DOORS 9 client (or server) fails to use the keystore (*.kdb).
Keystores created on Windows (GSKit) do not show this issue.
