Unable to initialize SSL connections when you use a non-IBM JRE with an IPC Connection type

Note: Applicable to WebSphere® Application Server traditional

If you are using a non-IBM JRE to work with a secure server with IPC connection type, you might get errors that prevent you from connecting or publishing to the server.

Examples of possible error messages:

SSLHandshakeE E SSLC0008E: Unable to initialize SSL connection.
    Unauthorized access was denied or security settings have expired. Exception is
    javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

SSLHandshakeE E SSLC0008E: Unable to initialize SSL connection.
    Unauthorized access was denied or security settings have expired. Exception is
    javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext
    connection

To work around this problem, use IBM JRE, or use a SOAP/RMI connection instead.
