===== Problem Description =====
After creating a backup set of any type, using the AddBackupSet.do JSON API with DEFAULT encryption setting:
API call: AddBackupSet.do
JSON Post:
{
"SysUser":"system",
"SysPwd":"system",
"LoginName":"username",
"BackupSetName":"backupset_name",
"BackupSetType":"FILE",
"EncryptionType":"DEFAULT"
}
When accessing the backup set via the AhsayOBM user interface, user is prompted to enter the encryption key of the backup set:
Note:
When a backup set is created with the default encryption setting, the encryption key will be a random generated key of 44 alpha numeric characters, that is unknown to the user until he / she can access the backup settings to retrieve the key.
===== Cause =====
This is a known issue with AhsayCBS, AhsayOBM and AhsayACB version 7.7.2.24.
Only CUSTOM encryption setting / no encryption is properly supported by the AddBackupSet.do JSON API.
===== Resolution =====
To resolve the issue, patch the AhsayCBS application to version 7.9.0.0 or above. The instructions can be found by
