APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
An FTPServer policy allows an administrator to specify a list of encryption ciphers or message authentication code algorithms which should be allowed when communicating with an SFTP server. The documentation for these fields states that multiple values should be separated using a plus sign (+). Attempting to use such a policy will result in a BIP3380 error at runtime stating that the MAC or CIPHER is not supported by the server.
Local fix
Use commas instead of plus signs as the separator. No spaces should be used to pad the values.
