APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a remotely-managed keystore configuration is created in
  WebSphere Application Server, the keystore is inaccessible if
  created at certain scopes, regardless of whether the keystore
  file itself was created by WebSphere Application Server or
  not.
  

Local fix

• Change the keystore to be centrally-managed
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5 with remotely-managed           *
  *                  keystores.                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A remotely managed keystore is          *
  *                      inaccessible when created in server     *
  *                      or cluster scope.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Don't configure a remotely managed          *
  *                  keystore at server or cluster scope.        *
  ****************************************************************
  The console allows you to configure a remotely managed
  keystore at server and cluster scope even though it is not
  possible to access it.
  

Problem conclusion

• The console now prevents you from configuring a remotely
  managed keystore when you are in a server or cluster scope.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
