Error description
Scripts execution (scheduling and API) with the unlock machine option true or get Vault Item command fails with a casting error message: Unable to cast object of type 'Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.AsymmetricCipherKeyPair' to type 'Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.Parameters.RsaKeyParameters' If users set up pair of public and private keys (.pem) with recent versions of OpenSSL (e.g 3.0.0) the IBM RPA will prompt a casting error message on script executions with unlock machine option and in get vault item command.
Local fix
1. Download OpenSSL version 0.9.8 2. Generate new public and private keys 3. Upload new public key and set private key path for the tenant by: A. Open Control Center B. Administer -> Tenants -> Tenant Configuration C. File -> Upload File -> Select the new generated public key (here public key is uploaded) D. On File Path select the new private key path. 4. Place the new generated private key under the path selected
