z/OS Cryptographic Services System SSL Programming
SC14-7495-00

03353020
Unrecognized file or message encoding.

Explanation

A file or message cannot be imported because the format is not recognized.

System SSL supports X.509 DER-encoded certificates, PKCS #7 signed data messages, and PKCS #12 personal information exchange messages for certificate import files. The import file data may be the binary data or the Base64-encoding of the binary data.

System SSL supports PKCS #7 data, encrypted data, signed data, and enveloped data for messages. This error can also occur if the message is not constructed properly.

User response

Ensure that the import file or message has not been modified. A Base64-encoded import file must be converted to the local code page when it is moved to another system while a binary import file must not be modified when it is moved to another system.

If importing a certificate from a Base64 file, the first and last lines contain readable data. The first line in the file contains '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----' and the last line in the file contains '----END CERTIFICATE-----'. If data is not correct, ensure that the file was transferred successfully.
