Explanation

The password encryption method used by BMC PATROL Agent and Hardware Sentry is different. When loading Hardware Sentry for the first time, the KM converts the password encryption method to be able to operate properly. During this conversion, the above message is written in the error log. This temporary error has however no incidence on the operation of Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL and can be safely ignored.
