Re: CIPHER and MCH2808

Hi Scott,

this problem occurred everytime we moved to another model, and after this,
not everything keeps working fine.

It seems that the attribute that can be materialized with MATMATR x'01C8' is
set when you install the AC3 but it get lost when you move to another model.

As I told you I did a SAVLICPGM, DLTLICPGM and RSTLICPGM on the same
partition and now it works. The only side effect is that I have to rebuild
the self-certificate.

Beppe.
