Error description
Stash files(*.sth) created by java tools like Ikeyman and ikeycmd/gsk7cmd are not readable by IHS 7.0
Local fix
As a work-around run the following gsk7capicmd command. This command convert the stashfile to v1 encryption version in which the gskit 7 verison recognize. <ihsinst>/bin/gsk7capicmd -keydb -stashpw -db <name> -pw <passwd> For example: <ihsinst>/bin/gsk7capicmd -keydb -stashpw -db key.kdb -pw mypassword
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM HTTP Server 7.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IHS startup reports "SSL0104E: GSK * * could not initialize, Invalid password * * for keyfile." * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Java 1.6 (SR16 FP 41) and later uses a new password stashing algorithm that SSL runtime in IHS cannot decode. This only affects newly created keystores, or keystores whose passwords have been changed after SR16 FP 41.
Problem conclusion
IBM HTTP Server will update the bundled security library to pick up support for the new stash file encoding format. The fix will be included in the IBM HTTP Server 7.0.0.45 fix pack via the newer update for PI93619.
Temporary fix
In the interim, the stash files can be converted to the original format by re-stashing the password with either $IHSROOT/bin/gsk7capicmd or $IHSROOT/bin/gsk7cmd using the "-keydb -stashpw" or "-keydb -v1stash" sub-commands respectively
