IT34847: CANNOT DELETE PASSWORD ALIAS OBJECT WHEN THE SSH CLIENT PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS DELETED

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The Password Alias object cannot be deleted even though the SSH
    Client Profile and the crypto key associated with it were
    successfully deleted.
    
    On deletion you will get this:
    
    "Cannot
    be deleted. In use by: key('crypto key name')"
    

Local fix

  • As a workaround you may restart the device, after deleting all
    objects except the password alias. After restart the password
    alias should be able to be successfully deleted.
    

Problem summary

  • Specific scenarios with Cert Objects and Password Alias
    objects may create a scenario where the Password Alias objects
    are stuck in memory and configuration until a device restart.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Correct the connection logic so proper order of deletion of
    these objects will result in all objects are deletable
    regardless of prior configuration.
    
    Fixed in: 2018.4.1.15 10.0.1.2
    

Temporary fix
