Bad Padding

If a mismatch between the encryption key used on the CA WA Agent and CA WA CA 7 Edition exists, the agent log file sometimes shows the “bad padding” messages when receiving messages from CA WA CA 7 Edition. In this case, examine the encryption key on CA WA CA 7 Edition. Reset the encryption key of the agent using the keygen utility so that it matches the encryption key that CA WA CA 7 Edition uses.

If the agent is connected to by more than one CA WA CA 7 Edition (or other scheduling managers such as CA Workload Automation AE), it is important that all scheduling managers and the agent have the same encryption key. Because the encryption key on the agent is encrypted, careful reset of the encryption keys must be performed.
