Error description

  • The default SSL Proxy Profile for the Web and XML
    Management Interfaces should contain one subject
    certificate and two CA certificates.  In the 5.0.0.0 release on
    the 9235 and 4195 platforms, the two CA certificates in this
    default SSL Proxy Profile contain the wrong contents and the SSL
    handshake will send only the subject certificate
    instead of all three.
    
    The SSL client attempting to make this connection might refuse
    to validate the certificate chain because of this.
    
    The 7198 and 7199 platforms are not affected by this problem.
    

Local fix

  • Configure an SSL Proxy Profile other than the default one for
    the Web and XML Management Interfaces.
    

Problem summary

  • Users of 5.0.0.0 firmware on a 9235 or 4195 platform running
    the Web or XML Management Interfaces using
    their default SSL Proxy Profiles might experience certificate
    validation problems with some SSL clients.
    
    The problem is due to the SSL server in this default SSL Proxy
    Profile failing to send two of the three certificates that it
    should send.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is available in 5.0.0.1.
    

Temporary fix
