Could not issue a Modify Attribute operation when key is in PreActive state #760
Description
Please take a look at the KMIP Spec : 3.22 State
The transition from Pre-Active to Active SHALL occur in one of three ways:
· The Activation Date is reached,
· A client successfully issues a Modify Attribute operation, modifying the Activation Date to a date in the past, or the current date, or
· A client issues an Activate operation on the object. The server SHALL set the Activation Date to the time the Activate operation is received.
As far as I understand, the KMIP client can issue a Modify Attribute operation on a Key in Pre-Active state.
This feature is not available in the Cosmian KMS Server, and we have encountered an incompatibility issue with the Synlogy DSM client.
For the purposes of debugging, the server log trail is provided below:
