  • Error Code: SECSTORE_FS002

    Error Message: Key value has incorrect length for the declared key type


    Summary

    This error indicates that a key value provided in the security storage or related configuration does not match the expected length defined for its key type. Essentially, the system expects a key of a certain length, but the input key is either too short or too long.


    Root Causes

    • Incorrect key length entered during key creation or update in the Secure Storage (SECSTORE) or related cryptographic configuration.
    • Mismatch between the declared key type and the actual key value length, often due to manual input errors or data corruption.
    • System configuration or transport issues causing key metadata to become inconsistent with the stored key values.
    • Custom developments or third-party add-ons supplying keys that do not conform to SAP's expected key length standards.
