Environment

UIM 9.0.2
discovery_server 9.0.2

Cause

Robot.cfg file has become corrupted or the pem file is missing.  A corruption can remove the cryptkey entry from the robot configuration.

Resolution

Either
1. Confirm that the cryptkey exists in the robot.cfg file similar to this:
      cryptkey = C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\security\certificate.pem 
or
2. Confirm that the pem file is located at the location specified by the cryptkey entry in the robot.cfg file.

Additional Information

More information on the cryptkey in the robot.cfg file can be found here:
