Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    - The following PBES2 cipher algorithms were added.
        PBEWithHmacSHA1AndAES_128
        PBEWithHmacSHA224AndAES_128
        PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_128
        PBEWithHmacSHA384AndAES_128
        PBEWithHmacSHA512AndAES_128
        PBEWithHmacSHA1AndAES_256
        PBEWithHmacSHA224AndAES_256
        PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_256
        PBEWithHmacSHA384AndAES_256
        PBEWithHmacSHA512AndAES_256
    - The following OSBs were implemented.
        8153005: Upgrade the default PKCS12 encryption/MAC
    algorithms
        8267880: Upgrade the default PKCS12 MAC algorithm
        8076190: Customizing the generation of a PKCS12
    keystore8214513
        8214513: A PKCS12 keystore from Java 8 using custom PBE
    parameters cannot be read in Java 11
        8202837: PBES2 AlgorithmId encoding error in PKCS12 KeyStore
    - The following SHA-2 based HmacPBE algorithms for MAC were
    added.
        HmacPBESHA224
        HmacPBESHA256
        HmacPBESHA384
        HmacPBESHA512
        HmacPBESHA512/224
        HmacPBESHA512/256
    - For the OSB 8076190, Oracle made the Mac part of the PKCS12
    keystore optional, but IBM still requires the MAC part of the
    PKCS12 keystore. This is the only difference between the Oracle
    implementation and the IBM implementation.
    - 'The keystore.pkcs12.legacy system property causes failures in
    JDK 8.0.7.15? was fixed
    - The 'PKCS12 KeyStore properties' section of the java.security
    file was added
    

Local fix
