Spectrum Protect 8.1.0 vs. 8.1.2 Client Issue

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a compatibility issue with the Spectrum Protect 8.1.2 client with the 8.1.0 server. If you upgrade the client to SP 8.1.2 and your server is at 8.1.1 or 8.1.0 your server will be unable to start. The error you will get is

Spectrum Protect ANR0162W Supplemental database diagnostic information:  -1:08001:-30082 ([IBM][CLI Driver] SQL30082N  Security processing failed with reason "24" ("USERNAME AND/OR PASSWORD INVALID").

The issue has to do with the GSKit8.gskcrypt64.ppc.rte and GSKit8.gskssl64.ppc.rte in the 8.1.2.0 client. When we rolled back to the 8.1.0 client the SP server started without an issue.
