Error description
SSL0200E may be issued with an error of "GSK_ERROR_PROTOCOL_MISMATCH" at error level
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM HTTP Server with SSL0200E * * being logged. Not applicable to z/OS. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a client sends messages with a * * protocol other than what's been * * negotiated, a generic SSL0200E is * * issued. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Early in the handshake, the client and server agree on a TLS protocol level to use. Each subsequent message is framed for that negotiated protocol version. Some clients have defects where messages use a different protocol version which causes the connection to terminate. Because the protocol version of each message cannot easily be logged/debugged, a unique error code should be used.
Problem conclusion
The code was updated to add a new error code, SSL00286I. "Client sent an TLS message with an unexpected protocol during handshake"; The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in IBM HTTP Server fix packs 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.7.
