APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • hwkeytool -genseckey -existinglabel sometimes fails because
keysize is needed.  But hwkeytool -genseckey -existinglabel
-keysize fails because -keysize is not allowed with
-existinglabel

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • If hwkeytool -genseckey -existinglabel is used with key
algorithm that IBMJCECCA does not support in the CKDS the user
gets an error that keysize is required.  If -keysize is added,
the user gets an error that keysize is not allowed with
-existinglabel

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • Update hwkeytool so that a keyalg not supported for
-existinglabel gets appropriate error message.
