Fix (APAR): WAS_Security_03-14-2003_4.0.6-4.0.5-4.0.4-4.0.3-4.0.2-4.0.1_JCE_r2_cumulative_Fix Status: Fix Release: 4.0.6,4.0.5,4.0.4,4.0.3,4.0.2,4.0.1 Operating System: All Supersedes Fixes: WAS_Security_03-14-2003_4.0.6-4.0.5-4.0.4-4.0.3-4.0.2-4.0.1_JCE_cumulative_Fix (This fix did not install correctly on Unix systems.) CMVC Defect: See APAR List. Byte size of APAR: 2492792 Date: 2003-05-21 Abstract: JCE Build 03-14-2003 Description/symptom of problem: This fix contains IBM JCE 1.2.1 build 20030314. Specific WebSphere APARs are listed below. This only reflects issues reported by WebSphere customers, however, and is not a comprehensive list of defects resolved. PQ69688 THE KEYSTORE HAS A "BAD" SERIALIZED OBJECT Keystores created using Sun's JCE implementation cannot be used with IBM's implementation. The problem was caused by a version stamp in the serialized keys. PQ71581 Import of pkcs12 key into jks keystore fails. IKeyMan cannot import keys saved in PKCS12 format. The error message received is: "The Specified database has been corrupted" Directions to apply fix: 1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file: AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/fix Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/fix Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\fix 2) Copy jar file to the directory 3) Shutdown WebSphere 4)Create a /Fix directory if one does not already exist 5) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear: java -jar -backupJar /Fix/_backup.jar 6) Restart WebSphere 7) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved. Do not remove any files created and stored in the /Fix directory. These files are required if a fix is to be removed. Directions to remove fix: NOTE: FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED. DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED. YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX. Example: If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied. 1) Change directory to the fix location (/Fix). 2) Shutdown WebSphere 3) Run the backup jar file with the following command: java -jar 4) Restart WebSphere Directions to re-apply fix: Follow the instructions for applying a fix. If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite. Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts. Additional Information:
