APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Customer uses Sun's iPlanet as the web server.
One requirement is to use 128-bit or stronger encryption all
the way from the client to the application server.
Customer started a request with 128-bit encryption. A trace at
the application shows the application server uses 56-bit
encryption. In other words, the encryption sytrength was
lowered.
