AIX password generation depends on the availability of *PBKDF2WithHmac256* and
*PBKDF2WithHmac512* in the JVM. Some JVMs don't include these libraries. In
this case, the hashing algorithm falls back to *SHA1*, and an error message
will be logged.
AIX password generation depends on the availability of *PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256* and
*PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512* in the JVM. These algorithms are included by default on
HotSpot 1.8 and OpenJDK 1.8 and upward. In the case where your JVM does not support these
algorithms, typically on an IBM JDK or a JVM 1.7 version of HotStop and OpenJDK, the hashing
algorithm falls back to *SHA1* with *PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1*, and an error message will be
logged. You can also check your JVM editor manual to add support for these algorithms.
