Error description
After completing the wizard to create an object client on Operations Center, the page with "Important Setup Information" will be shown, including the access key ID, secret access key, endpoint and the agent certificate. When clicking the button "Copy to Clipboard" on this page, the agent certificate with incorrect format is copied. This will cause a failure due to certificate error when adding a Repository server on Spectrum Protect Plus server by directly pasting this certificate. Here is an example: The following text is copied via "Copy to Clipboard": Access key ID  PGVDVTUI581FYMEMS838  Secret access key  AAA3NnrFlK9Y2BEMZdoY6QgnMjv0bXC1LJgRKc9W  Endpoint  https://a.b.c.d:9000  Certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MII C9DCCAdygAwIBAgIIRLLpwek3n+4wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAwGDEWMBQGA1UEAxM NOS4xMTAuMTc5LjI0OTAeFw0yMDA4MjEwOTM1NDRaFw0zMDA4MjAwOTM1NDRaMBg xFjAUBgNVBAMTDTkuMTEwLjE3OS4yNDkwggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IBDwA wggEKAoIBAQC8Cr4l2vyS4KnlRquv0PL5WqDa327XX+hrSbhuaDQ+O1WX4weFKOa 4iOSVlX941RwlVNgw+SgPNPR3kC4GEZcAbbIuG822MWvWFQcHnHT8QUaZGSfj2Os CqquBDCRdj4aQkC+0tQQbPHLlgLE4eWdJQiq7XH4qjlIkpYTGoqxr7rUwekVfwcR VLZsz/HFKP9wg8ZomaaH5NWRnzuycFeUeDpjFUzVpu+SR/OU88njeopRpAout8Uh 830ibsCk7NjtfzRLEc7WDNtYBwCVjfxaRC2iotHYr24u9oPDvdOCORl411E+67jP 8p8d1KoAOAW12mAC9yp/RYwyFwqy7v+nxAgMBAAGjQjBAMB0GA1UdDgQWBBQ2Cbr HTJBf/Ar5KYb4Ud0ew3m4bTAfBgNVHSMEGDAWgBQ2CbrHTJBf/Ar5KYb4Ud0ew3m 4bTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFAAOCAQEAnx/T4sahuGmuZSDqRgZFT2W6q5hcLY40qL4 Cz1GjjjNxu2dVKHMuEqCKeF/YYVzzZb+jQYN0HwyhS/JmNW2bIHwiVHFg9ypNgRk L2yGMDxnMxOu4DTz1hFnqmOPInYTFW0lH9Rw+NgbxA/eXSiBUn7ZcCFXN3EkB9ZQ rBK8bqBBTphA5eS5qv4LMCNYcYQb6k65qQgLJxjBuAQDRvdZGGub087bSDtku+D/ gwllRymwc5q/gyCjGDLkG0vPO07pUzjn9L5mRT6Bl0RJGlq8l9wDC/KCXlAl43w7 ENrYfOjwVadw6KP8xDbMsk9duc3dpR02mAzWwsrQ8bqHa/C06QQ==-----END CERTIFICATE----- However, the agent certificate with correct format should be shown as below: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MII C9DCCAdygAwIBAgIIRLLpwek3n+4wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAwGDEWMBQGA1UE Ax MNOS4xMTAuMTc5LjI0OTAeFw0yMDA4MjEwOTM1NDRaFw0zMDA4MjAwOTM1NDRa M BgxFjAUBgNVBAMTDTkuMTEwLjE3OS4yNDkwggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IB DwAwggEKAoIBAQC8Cr4l2vyS4KnlRquv0PL5WqDa327XX+hrSbhuaDQ+O1WX4weF KOa4iOSVlX941RwlVNgw+SgPNPR3kC4GEZcAbbIuG822MWvWFQcHnHT8QUaZGSf j 2OsCqquBDCRdj4aQkC+0tQQbPHLlgLE4eWdJQiq7XH4qjlIkpYTGoqxr7rUwek Vf wcRVLZsz/HFKP9wg8ZomaaH5NWRnzuycFeUeDpjFUzVpu+SR/OU88njeopRpA out 8Uh830ibsCk7NjtfzRLEc7WDNtYBwCVjfxaRC2iotHYr24u9oPDvdOCORl41 1E+6 7jP8p8d1KoAOAW12mAC9yp/RYwyFwqy7v+nxAgMBAAGjQjBAMB0GA1UdDgQ WBBQ2 CbrHTJBf/Ar5KYb4Ud0ew3m4bTAfBgNVHSMEGDAWgBQ2CbrHTJBf/Ar5KY b4Ud0e w3m4bTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFAAOCAQEAnx/T4sahuGmuZSDqRgZFT2W6q 5hcLY40 qL4Cz1GjjjNxu2dVKHMuEqCKeF/YYVzzZb+jQYN0HwyhS/JmNW2bIHwi VHFg9ypN gRkL2yGMDxnMxOu4DTz1hFnqmOPInYTFW0lH9Rw+NgbxA/eXSiBUn7Z cCFXN3EkB 9ZQrBK8bqBBTphA5eS5qv4LMCNYcYQb6k65qQgLJxjBuAQDRvdZGGu b087bSDtku +D/gwllRymwc5q/gyCjGDLkG0vPO07pUzjn9L5mRT6Bl0RJGlq8l9 wDC/KCXlAl4 3w7ENrYfOjwVadw6KP8xDbMsk9duc3dpR02mAzWwsrQ8bqHa/C06 QQ== -----END CERTIFICATE----- This issue only occurs on Operations Center version 8.1.10 and later. Prior to version 8.1.10, only the access key ID, secret access key and endpoint is copied via "Copy to Clipboard", so the agent certificate can be copied separately with correct format. IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected: Spectrum Protect Operations Center version 8.1.10 and later Initial Impact: Medium
Local fix
Copy the agent certificate via "View Certificate" on the page "Important Setup Information" when completing the wizard to create an object client.
