Issue:
When starting up a new or existing remote agent, the awapi will fail to start, and the following error may be found in the AgentService*.log file:
ErrorMsg: AwE-5103 network socket error (01/01/2018 10:00 AM)
Details: Network socket error
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not generate DH keypair
Cause:
The key to this error message is: "Could not generate DH keypair".
This error normally occurs when the Java on the Automation Engine is updated to a newer release or if Java on the Agent is upgraded to a newer release.
Later versions of Java restrict DH keys less than 1024 bits. If Java on the Automation Engine (server) or remote agent (client) is running a newer version while the other is running an older version, the older version of Java is attempting to us a DH key less then 1024 bits while the newer version of Java is restricting the use of less then 1024 bits.
Resolution:
To resolve this error, please match the version of Java that is used by the Automation Engine and Agent.
