2036705 - Android 4.3 ObjectAPI https synch fails with SynchronizeException using SMP 2.3 SP03 SDK

• A NullPointerException is thrown by SAP Mobile Platform 2.3 SP03 ObjectAPI libraries on Android 4.3 while trying to synchronize, connecting through Internet Information Server (IIS) Relay Server (https connection on port 443).
• The exception was thrown when method onlineLogin() was called. Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.3 and Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 4.3.1
• Exception originates from method com.sybase.sup.client.persistence.RbsDatabaseDelegate.internalSynchronize which calls javax.crypto.Cipher.doFinal method.
• Root cause for the exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.crypto.Cipher.doFinal(Cipher.java:1111) at com.sybase.sup.client.persistence.RbsDatabaseDelegate.getIdentityExtraParameters(RbsDatabaseDelegate.java:1217) ...
• This issue might be related to security API changes that were introduced in Android 4.1+ (no longer possible to get private key of a certificate).
• Please find the detailed stacktrace below.
