Local fix
Problem summary
A NullPointerException occurs when reading an empty PKCS12 keystore using Java 8.
Problem conclusion
The PKCS classes com.ibm.security.pkcs12.BasicPFX and com.ibm.security.pkcs12.AuthenticatedSafe were both missing logic which checks for the possibility that there might be no content within a PKCS12 keystore being read. That missing logic has been added. The associated PKCS Git Issue is #19. The associated RTC PR is 142372 The associated APAR is IJ19292 The affected jar is ibmpkcs.jar The build level of ibmpkcs.jar is: 20190917-127 JVMs affected: Java 8.0 This fix has been delivered for: 80sr6 . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR6 (8.0.6.0) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
