Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Configuration Migration Tools        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: sslProtocol setting changed from        *
  *                      SSL_TLS to SSL_TLSv2 after              *
  *                      WASPostUpgrade with no warning.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In earlier fixpacks of both release 8.5 and release 9.0 of
  WebSphere Application Server, WASPostUpgrade was updated to
  automatically set any instances of SSL_TLS for the sslProtocol
  setting to SSL_TLSv2. In general, settings changes during
  migration are to be indicated to the user with a message
  printed to the logs. However, when this particular change was
  made to migration, it was not set up to print an appropriate
  message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Migration was adjusted to print a message to the migration
  logs informing the user that the sslProtocol setting is being
  updated from SSL_TLS to SSL_TLSv2 for each repertoire in the
  configuration that applies.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
