OE 12.0 fails to accept a client-principal object sealed in a prior OE release with 14541 error

When a client-principal has been serialized in 11.7, attempting to deserialize it in 12.0 results in error: 
CLIENT-PRINCIPAL:VALIDATE-SEAL failed because keys do not match (14541).


 

Attached client-principal.11.p serializes and deserializes fine.

This is expected behavior. A more secure algorithm is used for sealing a client-principal object. Note that a 12.0 process is not able to accept a client-principal object sealed in a prior OpenEdge release.

It was determined that the Progress Product is functioning as designed.

To resolve the error, regenerate the .cp file.
