Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    Output from the command "openssl pkcs12 -info -in
    CAMKeystore.new"
    You should see the following... search for "friendlyName:
    encryption" string... you will see 3 entries: 1 for the private
    key, 1 for the server certificate, and 1 for the CA certificate
    with the IBM keystore (that is the problem reported here). With
    the Oracle JRE, you will only find 2 entries: 1 for the private
    key and 1 for the server certificate... the CA certificate has a
    different "friendlyName".
    

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • In certain cases, when a PKCS12 keystore is read, an additional
    CertBag is created to contain the CA cert.  In this CertBag, the
    attribute info for Oracle-converted versions of the file
    contains the DN rather than an alias which matches the
    associated entries.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code for java 8 was updated to match closer to what Sun
    does. This way the KeyStores in the is case match Sun's, but
    still support the necessary migration from the other IBM JVM's
    PKCS12 keystore types.
