IV90578: NEW REQUIREMENT FOR IKEYMAN ADD/RECEIVE COMMAND, FIX A REGRESSION IN PKCS12/JKS KEYSTORE

PI76220: SHIP JDK IX90179 AS AN IFIX FOR WAS 8.0.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: 1. New requirement for iKeyman add/receive
  command
     In iKeyman, if "-cert -add" is done by accident before
  "-cert -receive", a misleading error message "The certificate
  request created for the certificate is not in the key database"
  is displayed
  2. Fix a regression in PKCS12/JKS keystore:
     1) In some cases, list certificates in PKCS12/JKS keystore,
  displays an error message - such as:
         "The key for label 'XXXX' could not be recovered."
     2) Also, convert JKS/PKCS keystore to any keystore type
  throws an exception.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• Work around for issue 2:
    1) For PKCS12 keystore change file extension from .p12 to .pfx
    2) For JKS keystore:
       We need to export each certificate (key entry) to a
  different keystore. The Cert list error should be solved.
  

Problem summary

• 1. New requirement for iKeyman add/receive command:
     If the user accidentally adds the "-cert -add" signer
  certificate received from a CA that was requested to sign a
  certificate request using "-cert -add" command, then user will
  never be able to receive the certificate "-cert -receive" that
  replaces Certificate Request key entry to Certificate key entry.
  In the above case iKeyman rejects the request and throws an
  error message.
  
  2. Fix a regression in PKCS12/JKS keystore:
      This problem was introduced due to the fix in previous
  release 8.0.412 where iKeyman reconstructs the keystore list for
  JKS and PKCS12 as in JDK 7 for PKCS12 keystore. This problem
  will occur in JKS and PKCS12 keysore.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. New requirement for iKeyman add/receive command:
     Rather than just fixing the error message iKeyman intend to
  address the usage scenario (-add to do -receive) and make it
  work as the user assumed it would.
  2. Fix a regression in PKCS12/JKS keystore:
     The bug introduced in 8.0.412 is fixed in this release.
