RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

NPE in HttpClient utility in below mentioned cases:

1. During cmc request if KRA is not reachable or is shutdown.
2. In case encryption is not set in KRA, so there is no common way to communicate between KRA and CA 

KRA rest info:
<KRAInfo><Attributes/><ArchivalMechanism>encrypt</ArchivalMechanism><EncryptAlgorithm>AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding</EncryptAlgorithm><RecoveryMechanism>encrypt</RecoveryMechanism><WrapAlgorithm>AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding</WrapAlgorithm></KRAInfo>

 CA rest info:
<CAInfo><Attributes/><ArchivalMechanism>encrypt</ArchivalMechanism><EncryptAlgorithm>AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding</EncryptAlgorithm><WrapAlgorithm>AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding</WrapAlgorithm></CAInfo>

3. if key wrap algorithm is not set correctly, HttpClient fails with NPE.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pki-ca-10.4.1-11.el7.noarch

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. This can be easily reproduce by shutting down KRA subsystem and try to perform any CMC archival test case.Example: self signed
2.
3.

Actual results:

1. NPE

Expected results:
