IO22326: MSG GIM69207S WITH SSLHANDSHAKEEXCEPTION DURING SMP/E RECEIVE AND GIMGTPKG PROCESSING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The SMP/E HTTPS client does not support the TLS cryptographic
  handshake protocol.  If the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK or RECEIVE ORDER
  commands, or the GIMGTPKG service routine, attempt to connect to
  a server that supports TLS but does not support the SSL
  protocol, then the SMP/E client ends with error message
  GIM69207S: "PROCESSING HAS FAILED BECAUSE THE CONNECTION WITH
  THE SERVER FAILED. javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:  Remote
  host closed connection during handshake."  SMP/E must be updated
  to use the TLS protocol for the cryptographic handshake to
  support servers that no longer support SSLv3.

  ****************************************************************
  During SMP/E RECEIVE FROMNETWORK, RECEIVE ORDER or GIMGTPKG
  processing, an SSLHandShakeException can occur when the SMP/E
  Java client attempts to establish an HTTPS connection to either
  an order or download server which only supports the TLS protocol
  and not SSL.
  .
  Message MSGGIM69207S is issued:
  GIM69207S: "PROCESSING HAS FAILED BECAUSE THE CONNECTION WITH
  THE SERVER FAILED.  javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:  Remote
  host closed connection during handshake."
  .
  The SMP/E Java Client has been updated to support the use of the
  TLS protocol for the cryptographic handshake with HTTP servers
  that no longer support using the SSL protocol.
  

Problem conclusion

• The SMP/E java classes GIMJVCNI and GIMJVGIN were modified to
  support using the TLS protocol when an HTTPS connection is
  established to a server that does not support SSL.
