TRNENCRL_CIPHER

This parameter specifies the requested list of ciphers that are to encrypt the password fields for locally initiated transfers.

Edit Transfer Record Screen

The field added to the Edit Transfer Record screen for Transmission Password Encryption Cipher Selection.

Misc Options Local Cipher List

Specifies the requested list of ciphers which are used to encrypt the password fields for locally initiated transfers.

Global Parameters Screen

Fields added to the Global Parameters screen for Transmission Password Encryption Cipher Selection.

Default Local Cipher List

Specifies the Default list of ciphers which are used to encrypt the password fields for locally initiated transfers.

Remote Permitted Cipher List

Specifies the permitted list of ciphers which are used to encrypt the password fields for remotely initiated transfers.

Remote DH Prime Number Size

Specifies the size (in bits) of the prime number that is used during DH (Diffie-Hellman) exchange for remotely initiated transfers or meta-transfers. The exchanged value generates the key that is used to encrypt the password fields transmitted in the CA XCOM Data Transport header.

New and Changed Messages

This section describes the new and changed messages to support this enhancement.

New messages for Transmission Password Encryption Cipher Selection.

0886E

PING action cannot be performed with TRNENCRL_CIPHER=COMPAT.

Reason:

This message is issued if the XCOM Ping action is performed with TRNENCRL_CIPHER value set to COMPAT.

Action:

Retry XCOM Ping action with TRNENCRL_CIPHER value set to cipher(s) other than COMPAT. See the list of ciphers allowed for TRNENCRL_CIPHER in the List of Parameters in this guide.

1317E

Local discover request failed.

Reason:

An error was detected while attempting to send a discovery request. Possible reason could be the failure of Xrcvwt.

Action:

Check the Network connectivity and retry the transfer.

1325E

Remote Discover Request failed: reason

Reason:

Possible reason could be one of the following:

Action:

Depends on reason.

For the first four reasons, check the network connectivity and retry the transfer.

If the cipher match is not found, recheck the Local and Remote cipher preferences set in xcom.glb. Refer to How Transmission Password Encryption Works for more information about how to set the (STC)TRNENCRL_CIPHER/TRNENCRR_CIPHER parameters.

If ETPKI (CAPKI) Initialization fails, check whether the ETPKI (CAPKI) Library is installed properly and that the CAPKIHOME global parameter is set to the correct value.

.

1326E

Local ping failed.

Reason:

This error is produced when required arguments are not supplied to the ping request.

Action:

Provide required arguments to the ping request.

1327E

Transfer is not allowed without Password cipher negotiation.

Reason:

This error is produced when TRNENCRR_CIPHER on remote XCOM Server does not have COMPAT in the list of ciphers and

Action:

Add COMPAT to the TRNENCRR_CIPHER global parameter on remote XCOM server to permit the CA XCOM Data Transport proprietary cipher without cipher negotiation that is required for backward password compatibility with CA XCOM Data Transport versions before 11.6.

or

Choose different cipher for TRNENCRL_CIPHER other than COMPAT, in order to encrypt the password when in flight.

1427E

Password cipher negotiation failed: reason

Reason:

Possible reason could be one of the following:

Action:

Depends on reason.

If the cipher match is not found, recheck the Local and Remote cipher preferences set in xcom.glb. Refer to How Transmission Password Encryption Works for more information.

Recheck the remote partner cipher preferences. Refer to How Transmission Password Encryption Works for more information about how to set (STC)TRNENCRL_CIPHER/TRNENCRR_CIPHER parameters.

Check whether ETPKI (CAPKI) Library is installed properly and CAPKIHOME global parameter is set to the correct value.
