Data_engine probe utility get_connection_string callback fails with the following error in the data_engine.log

0 de: fopen failed for "Ceritificate.pemFilePath"
de: getCheckSumForFile - nimMD5CheckSum calculation failed
0 de: crypt key is empty
0 de: No crypt key

Environment

Release : 9.0.2

Component : UIM - UMP

Cause

Double quotes were added to the path in the UIM server's robot.cfg cryptkey variable and path cannot be read.

Example: "C:\Nimsoft\security\certificate.pem"

Resolution

Removed the double quotes from the cryptkey path on the UIM server's robot.cfg.

Example change from "C:\Nimsoft\security\certificate.pem" to C:\Nimsoft\security\certificate.pem
