Troubleshooting SSH connection to DataPower appliance
How to troubleshoot SSH connection to WebSphere® DataPower® appliance
The IBM WebSphere DataPower CLI copy command requires a password by default. If you want to use this copy command to copy files from DataPower to an external Linux/UNIX server without password prompt, the default User Agent has to be configured with the Pubkey_Auth_Policy containing the private key of the user.
When using SCP to copy files to or from the WebSphere DataPower device, if there is an error, the only response you will get is the following:
% Copy: File not found
File copy failed
How can you use the XML Management interface to get and set WebSphere DataPower appliance files and configuration?
What is the procedure for replacing an expiring certificate that is in use on the DataPower appliance with a newly obtained certificate?
Is it possible to renew a soon to be expired certificate with its existing key?
When accessing the DataPower appliance through the Web Management Service (WebGUI), you may be greeted with one of the following messages:
* Internet Explorer
"There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
- Click here to close this webpage.
- Continue to this website (not recommended)."
* Firefox
"This Connection is Untrusted
- Get me out of here!
- Add Exception..."
Why are IBM WebSphere DataPower device types 4195 (XI50B) and 9235 showing the following warnings in the logs on pre-5.0.0.0 firmware:
01:02:03 cert-monitor warn 383 0x806000e1 cert-monitor (Certificate Monitor): Certificate 'system-ssl-ca-cert' is expired
01:02:03 cert-monitor warn 383 0x806000e1 cert-monitor (Certificate Monitor): Certificate 'system-cert' is expired
Or in my browser I see this:
The certificate expired on 6/6/2013 4:13 PM.
Note: Prior to June 6, 2013, the warnings indicate the certificate is about to expire.
What are some guidelines with respect to managing expired third-party public CA certificates in the pubcert: directory on the IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance?
Why does one expired certificate cause all other certificates within the Validation Credential to come down after a reboot of the DataPower appliance?
How do you check the load balancer status for individual hosts on a WebSphere DataPower appliance? You would like to be able to check that each load balancer member is up. Is there a way to view the member status of a load balancer group from the WebGUI?
Our solution uses a DataPower load balancer group and a group member should be treated as available if it returns an HTTP 200 response to an HTTP GET request. What configuration options exist to meet these requirements?
Question #1: How does the DataPower Load Balancer Group (LB Group) health check work? How does it handle each of the members in the group?
Question #2: What if the 'Health Check request' cycle has not completed and a new 'health check request' cycle should start according to the "Health Check Frequency" parameter?
Question #3: How does the LB Group health check work if there are 2 load balancer groups defined for the same XML Manager?
What are the known limitations of deploying the DataPower™ virtual appliance in different environments?

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance MQ Manager Object's connections are not closed as expected. This can happen when the mq-qm object uses the default value which is an empty string.
Why does WebSphere DataPower spike with a high CPU rate when a WebSphere MQ connection is unavailable? Is there a solution to this issue?
The memory % in "show load" can be significantly higher than the memory % in "show memory". Why are they different? What do they mean?
This technote gives an example of how to enable off-device logging on an IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® appliance. This can be very helpful when a debug log level is needed to help isolate a problem or monitor behavior over a long period of time or can be used in production environment as DataPower only keeps a limited number of log files (the default is 3 files) in the file system in a rotational basis.
Is there a very simple method to collect basic information on DataPower CPU utilization and memory usage?

As members of the DataPower support group, we frequently work with customers who have a need to connect their client applications to backend servers that are secured with Kerberos authentication. Inevitably, a large number of these customers have questions regarding how to configure a gateway or proxy to support this type of client and server solution. Kerberos can be a confusing and complicated technology to set up for the first time, which probably explains the frequency of questions related to this topic.
DataPower firmware release 6.0.0 adds support for constrained Kerberos delegation. This document clarifies how to configure a Kerberos principal within Active Directory on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for use with the constrained delegation support on DataPower.
Note that DataPower release 6.0.0 does not support traditional unconstrained Kerberos delegation where the principal is allowed to delegate to all services in the realm. It only supports constrained Kerberos delegation where the principal is only allowed to delegate to a specific list of services in the realm.
Resolving the problem
Why does DataPower fail to decrypt a Kerberos token and display the message
"Cannot parse the file for Kerberos Keytab"? This error remains after confirming that the Service Principle Name (SPN) matches with the keytab file, the "setspn -l <service account>" command, and with the SPN field within the DataPower service.

Here are two examples of WebSphere DataPower latency messages:
Mon Sep 19 2011 13:23:40 [latency][info] xmlfirewall (loopback-fw): tid(2809): Latency: 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 [http://<IP address>:9999/foo/test.xml]
Fri Feb 16 2012 13:04:27 [latency][info] xmlfirewall(TestLogging): tid(2075615): Latency: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 [http://127.0.0.1:9999/]
What are each of the latency arguments in this message?
Can the DataPower SSL server, which is defined with a reverse SSL Proxy Profile, be modified to use a preferred cipher suite?
A known SSL/TLS vulnerability, CVE-2011-3389 (also known as BEAST), exists in the SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 protocols. To eliminate this vulnerability, please review the specific configuration recommendations below.
If I need to use NFS access on my device, what parameters should be tuned?
The DataPower device CLI commands contain a mix of immediate synchronous commands and asynchronous commands which spawn a job and return the command line. This can cause configurations to be saved before commands have completed.
As an example, a script to configure a system would run the "import-execute" command which would begin a job when the command is issued then return the shell for further use. If a "write mem" command is then immediately issued by the script followed by a restart, the current configuration would be saved without waiting on the previous job to complete. This can result in an incomplete service, and the object would be down after restarting the system.
MustGather documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs). These documents contain a list of the documentation you should gather so WebSphere DataPower Support can diagnose your specific problem. These documents might also include diagnostic tips that will aid in diagnosing and solving problems.
How to migrate from passwords to password aliases.
How to migrate from an SSL Proxy Profile to the appropriate SSL client and SSL server profiles.
In general the DataPower appliance supports two RSA padding algorithms: PKCS#1v15 and OAEP. However, when the DataPower appliance is decrypting with an RSA private key stored inside of its HSM, as opposed to on the appliance flash, it only supports one RSA padding algorithm: PKCS#1v15.
The use of RSA OAEP with RSA private keys stored inside of the HSM is not supported for decryption because the underlying HSM hardware does not support OAEP.
