Hi Eric,

during API initialization some libraries are loaded even if they are not
used at all - ie ssl libraries can be loaded even though SSL is not used
for client-server connection. This same applies also to encryption
libraries. By default AES128 encryption library is attempted.
But some older TDP applications are not happy if it tries to load AES128
encryption library that was installed as part of newer TSM API. In this
case you need to fallback to DES56 encryption library (even if you do not
intent to use them).

Bye
