PI32247: USING WORKLIGHT WITH WEBSPHERE ND : THE WORKLIGHT CONSOLE IS BLOCKED VIA HTTPS

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 6.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem is that the Mobile First Platform server prevents
  certain secured protocols (for example:SSLv3,to protect against
  the POODLE man
  in the middle attack) . However, a bug in the Worklight code
  prevents
  connecting even when SSLv3/TLSv1.0 is explicitly allowed In
  Websphere configuration.
  In the Websphere SystemOut.log there will be an error line :
  "handling
  exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException..."
