Hello
We have been using ODBC with SSL for a while now without issues.
Lately we have troubles in saving server certificate in the key database for people with new PCs.
After some research I found out that the problem was a missing version of Microsoft Visual C++. Only version 2015-2022 is installed on the new PC.
We "solved" it now by installing all existing versions of Microsoft Visual C++ (the easy way rather than trying to find the needed one when this is something you have to order to a service desk ;-)).
But I am wondering that I can't find any place where IBM tells that this is a requirement.
The only requirement I find from IBM is "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 or later".
Does anybody know something about this ?
Here is more background for the issue :
When using CWBCOSSL, I don't get any error but I don't get the prompt where I should type the password for the key DB.
When using ACS client and choose Tools ->Key Management->Select certificate->Push to Windows, then the client is freezing and have to be killed from Task manager.
If I start a command prompt and run the following
set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\gsk8\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\gsk8\lib;%PATH%
gsk8capicmd.exe
I get an error telling me that MSVCP120.dll is missing.
Running ODBC without SSL works fine.
