Error GSK_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE is caused by a defect in Gskit v5.0.5.70

Gskit v7.0.3.6.

When Gskit v7.0.3.16 applied, error changed to GSK_ERROR_IO which is still a defect.

This problem is observed when IHS Plugin communicate with WebSphere Application Server over SSL.

During SSL handshake, if JSSE in WebSphere Application Server breaks down the certificate in multiple chunks, Gskit in IHS Plugin does not put multiple chunks of certificate correctly.

 
Solution

Fix for this problem is integrated in Gskit v7.0.3.17 and newer versions. This fix is not integrated in Gskit v5.x.x.x.

Upgrade Gskit version to Gskit v7.0.3.17 or install an IHS version that includes

Gskit v7.0.3.17 or newer version.
