APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• The PTFs for Java 6.0 SR11 (64-bit and 31-bit) are in ERROR.
  
  
  PE Information:
  As delivered, these levels of the JVM fail to load the RACF
  Keystore implementation when using an invocation similar to:
  KeyStore.getInstance("JCERACFKS")
  
  
  Users Affected:
  All users who have applied the affected PTFs.
  Any system running Java 6.0 Service Refresh 11 at 31-bit or
  64-bit. Generic APARs: PM70855 and PM70856
  PTFs: UK81300 and UK81301
  
  
  User Impact:
  SR 11 fixed the problems it reported, but introduced a new
  problem. See Generic APARs: PM70855 or PM70856 for a list of
  fixes in Java 6.0 SR11.
  
  New Problem:
  When attempting to load a keystore, the JVM will erroneously
  report that the keystore implementation can not be found.
  
  Exception:
  java.security.KeyStoreException:
       KeyStore JCERACFKS implementation not found
   at java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.java:100)
  

Local fix

• Remove / Do Not Apply the offending PTFs.
  
  The issue may be bypassable in code by changing the keystore
  implementation load invocation from:
  KeyStore keyStore =
      KeyStore.getInstance("JCERACFKS");
  to
  KeyStore keyStore =
      KeyStore.getInstance("JCERACFKS", "IBMJCE");
  
  Where the second argument is the name of the provider offering
  the keystore implementation you desire to use.
