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. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 7 R1 SR3 FP50 (7.1.3.50) 8 SR3 FP10 (8.0.3.10) 7 SR9 FP50 (7.0.9.50) .
