      Description

      ods-signerd: signer/rrset.c:667: rrset_sign: assertion ctx failed

      There is a check on ctx early on that logs a critical error if hsm_create_context() failed. However, there is no proper handling of the error yet. Three solutions suggested:

      • Stop the signer.
      • Abort the drudger.
      • Try again forever.

      Or somewhat in the middle (and of course the most work):

      • Try again for a couple of times, if still fails, abort the drudger. Let the signer engine restart any drudgers that have been aborted.
