PM48098: Outbound SSL connection may fail when different SSL configs are used for Web services connections.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

In WebSphere Application Server V7.0, when a new SSL config is
created, other services that rely on existing SSL config may
fail intermittently.  For example, the error may look like
following:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: CWPKI0024E: The certificate
alias "client-cert" specified by the property
com.ibm.ssl.keyStoreServerAlias is not found in KeyStore
"/opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/myProfile/config/cells/my

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and V8.0 using SSL for JAX-WS   *
*                  applications.                               *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Outbound SSL connection may fail when   *
*                      different SSL configurationss are used  *
*                      for Web services connections.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack containing this APAR.    *
****************************************************************
When Web services applications are configured to use different
SSL configs for outbound connections, the outbound SSL
connection may fail due to incorrect SSL configuration being
bound to the SSL channel.

Problem conclusion

Web services code has been changed to use the correct SSL
configuration when creating the SSL channel for outbound
connections.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.23 and 8.0.0.3.  Please refer to the
Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
