  • 1.  RA FTP - Invalid encoding for signature

    Posted Oct 31, 2018 02:17 PM

    We are getting "Invalid encoding for signature" intermittently. (can't reproduce it).  The solution is to restart the task and it runs fine, so we've been adding post-condition logic to automatically do so.  But this behavior is increasing our task-failure rates.

     

    This discussion seems related, and describes it as "not a bug" for Java 1.8.0_121;

    [JDK-8174719] Java8u121: signature.verify throws exception Invalid encoding for signature - Java Bug System 

     

    We are running RA_FTP 3.1.4+build.290 on AE 11.2.1+build.412.   

    We are running RA_FTP on Java 1.8.0_151

     

     

    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  Should I consider downgrading my Java to the one prior to 1.8.0_121?

    Although not ideal, that appears to be the official CA Automic recommendation:

    Thank you for the link!  This will make it an easy sell with my superiors.
