APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: SSL handshake generates x'15' alert - Decryption
    Failed
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • This can be fixed by cleaning the old CKO_PRIVATE_KEY objects
    off the token
    

Problem summary

  • The problem is that the PKCS#11 device had multiple private key
    objects associated with the same certificate i.e. multiple
    CKO_PRIVATE_KEY objects with the CKA_ID attribute that match the
    certificate.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem occurs when the user attempts to recreate the
    PKCS#11 certificate/private key with duplicate label. Though
    iKeyman rejects the request with "Duplicate entry already
    exists", private/public keypair objects are already generated on
    the token. This results in dangling private key objects with the
    duplicate CKA_ID/CKA_LABEL attributes.
    Ths fix is -  iKeyman will run the duplicate label validation
    check before private/public key pair objects are generated.
    .
