ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_UNKNOWN_DOI - 13862 (0x3626)

Technical Meaning

The error code ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_UNKNOWN_DOI (13862, 0x3626) is returned when an invalid Data Object Identifier (DOI) is encountered during Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) or Internet Key Exchange (IKE) operations. This error typically indicates a problem with the DOI used in the IPsec/IKE protocol stack.

Error Details

The DOI is a unique identifier for a specific type of data object within the context of IPsec and IKE protocols. It is used to identify different types of security associations, such as Security Associations (SAs) or other related objects. When an unknown or invalid DOI is encountered, it can disrupt the normal operation of these protocols.

Usage Context

This error code is relevant in scenarios where IPsec/IKE operations are being performed, particularly when establishing or managing security associations. It may occur during the negotiation phase of IKE or when processing IPsec packets that contain unknown DOIs.

Developer Interpretation

When this error is encountered, it suggests that a DOI used in an IPsec/IKE operation was not recognized by the system. This could be due to several reasons, such as incorrect configuration, misaligned security policies, or issues with the DOI itself. Developers should ensure that all DOIs used are correctly defined and compatible with the current security context.

Related Errors

• ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_PROCESSING (13860, 0x3624): Indicates an error during processing of IPsec/IKE packets or messages.
• ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_INVALID_SITUATION (13859, 0x3623): Occurs when the current state of the IKE negotiation is not valid for the operation being performed.

FAQ

Q: What does ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_UNKNOWN_DOI mean?

A: It indicates that an unknown or invalid DOI was encountered during IPsec/IKE operations, disrupting the normal protocol flow.

Q: How can I troubleshoot this error?

A: Review the configuration of your security policies and ensure that all DOIs used are correctly defined. Verify that the DOI is compatible with the current security context and that there are no misconfigurations in the IPsec/IKE setup.

Summary

The ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_UNKNOWN_DOI error code highlights an issue with a DOI during IPsec/IKE operations, indicating that the system encountered an unknown or invalid identifier. Developers should ensure proper configuration and compatibility of DOIs to avoid this error.
