GLPCRY007E The directory key stash file is inconsistent

GLPCRY007E The directory key stash file is inconsistent with the associated encrypted data message gets displayed during ldif2b command in Tivoli Directory server v6.3.

As part of some of the activities in Tivoli directory server, we face this issue of GLPCRY007E being displayed in command prompt. Below screenshot for reference.

I had earlier written a blog entry about what should we do when we lose Seed value. I have tried this scenario recently and found out that there is additional salt value attribute need to be provided otherwise the error will pop up. During following cases we face this issue.

1. When you are creating a new instance (while performing this activity) make sure that we are giving -g as well. We need to provide Seed value as well as Salt value during the instance creation.

./idsicrt -I dsrdbm1 -e newseedvalue -g newsaltvalue -l /home/dsrdbm1 -n

Link for reference. Either drop the newly created instance or change the Seed and Salt value accordingly.

2. If you are doing a bulk upload by importing data, make sure that the Salt and seed value are proper in the exported ldif file. Please follow this link for reference.

This link should be modified accordingly to a statement that says that we need to provide -g attribute and input a salt value for a successful Data migration or for Instance creation.
