HWSSSL00E

Message HWSSSL00E occurs in IMS Connect when you specify not to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection, but the port number you provide for your Java™ application is an SSL port.

In this error scenario, the following errors will occur:
  • The IMS TM resource adapter will throw an exception that indicates a communication error: 
    
javax.resource.spi.CommException: ICO0005E:
com.ibm.connector2.ims.ico.IMSTCPIPManagedConnection@5bcdcdd4.receive()
error. A communication error occurred while sending or receiving
the IMS message.
[java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket closed]
  • The following IMS Connect message is displayed on the z/OS® console: 
    
HWSSSL00E Unable to initialize the SSL socket:Error while reading
or writing data

IMS Connect's attempt to initialize the SSL socket fails because IMS Connect does not receive the initial client "Hello" message that is part of the SSL handshake protocol.
