APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message, as reported by customer:
  WebSphere's dynamic outbound SSL feature depends on a connected
  socket that provides host&port information.
  Unconnected socket breaks that feature with current WebSphere's
  implementation.
  Refer to APAR IV46649 for more details.
  
  WebShpere is working on APAR PM95006 to resolve the limitation

Problem summary

• Support unconnected SSL Sockets
  

Problem conclusion

• The implementation of unconnected SSL Sockets breaks WebSphere's
   dynamic outbound SSL feature.
  WebSphere's is dependent upon the first SSLSocket.createSocket
  call contains the host/port information.
  To circumvent this issue, if the SSL Socket Factory belongs to
  WebSphere, then a non-SSL unconnected socket will be created.
  This SSLSocketFactory name is hard coded to be the known
  WebSphere SSL Socket Factory class name.
  When WebSphere corrects their behavior, then this code should be
  removed.
