Hello,

Thanks  Martin and Thomas for your replies.

(TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET

I am pretty sure I am using the right owner password. I tried clearing and
taking ownership several times and then tried the command again to make sure
I was using the right owner password. I had not specified a custom SRK
password so the TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET should have been used by default. I
did take a new ownership with a custom SRK key and specified this during
"aik_create" but I am still getting the same exact error.

Just to confirm here are my "clear_owner" and "take_owner" results just
before trying "aik_create":

[root@localhost jTpmTools_0.3]# ./jtt.sh clear_owner -o theBIGsecret

gives

[root@localhost jTpmTools_0.3]# ./jtt.sh take_owner -o theBIGsecret

gives

Now, trying "aik_create" with the new password:

[root@localhost jTpmTools_0.3]# ./jtt.sh aik_create -o theBIGsecret -a
theAIKsecret -l myAIK_0

still gives

Guessing that this might be an issue with jTSS_0.1 I reverted back to
jTSSWrapper0.3, cleared and took ownership again (just to be safe) but now I
get something more weird. Here's a sample:

./jtt.sh aik_create -o theBIGsecret -a theAIKsecret -l myAIK_0

And what I get is:

15:50:28:601 [INFO] CommonSettings::getTssFactory (37): TrouSerS TSS found.

I know that this seems similar to the problem experienced by Carl in
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=300eed510707111800h71eadba1xf0113bd4b433ce65%40mail.gmail.combut
the difference in my case is that
TSS TrouSerS is found! (i.e. both the TPM and TSS (TrouSerS since I am using
the jTSSWrapper this time) are both loaded correctly ---> This is awfully
weird since other commands run fine under the same (TrouSerS + jTSSWrapper)
configuration.

For example,

[root@localhost jTpmTools_0.3]# ./jtt.sh clear_owner -o theBIGsecret

gives:

16:14:14:090 [INFO] CommonSettings::getTssFactory (37): TrouSerS TSS found.
Using JNI bindings...
16:14:14:142 [INFO] ClearOwnership::execute (63):       ClearOwnership
succeeded

and

[root@localhost jTpmTools_0.3]# ./jtt.sh take_owner -o theBIGsecret

gives

16:14:47:218 [INFO] CommonSettings::getTssFactory (37): TrouSerS TSS found.
Using JNI bindings...
16:14:47:699 [INFO] TakeOwnership::execute (82):        TakeOwnership
succeeded

P.S I don't think the two errors are related with the same cause but I am
reporting them in the same mail anyways since they are both related to what
I am trying to do!
