Troubleshooting
Problem
Specifying the IBM® HTTP Server directive SSLServerCert with an invalid certificate prevents SSL connections.
Symptom
Unable to connect to HTTP server using a SSL connection.
Cause
When the HTTP directive SSLServerCert does not specify a certificate value that matches a certificate in the CMS key database, an error SSL0227E will be logged in the HTTP error log. This is the format of the SSLServerCert directive:
SSLServerCert
- Description - Sets the server certificate to use for this virtual host
- Scope - IP-based virtual hosts
- Values - certificate label
- Usage - SSLServerCert my_certificate_label
- * Notes - Use no delimiters around the certificate label.
Ensure that the label is contained on one line.
Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored.
Usage: SSLServerCert my_certificate_label
Resolving The Problem
The value specified for the SSLServerCert must match the label of a valid certificate in the CMS key database used by the HTTP server.
