Error description
A user has a custom plug-in which expects to set the truststore and keystore system properties. The https connection defaults may get overwritten when a host connection is made.
Local fix
Problem summary
A custom-written CICS Explorer plug-in establishes its own https connection to a back end server with a certificate which is not known to the CICS Explorer or any of the CICS Tools plug-ins. When connecting with a CM connection that has the SSL flag set, the CM plug-in invokes a CICS Explorer method that sets the HTTPS default SSL socket factory and hostname verifier to be CICS Explorer-supplied code.
Problem conclusion
This method has been updated so that the SSL socket factory and hostname verifier are set for the specific connection rather than using the default. . This fix will be made available in Version 5.4.0.1 of the CICS Configuration Manager plug-in for CICS Explorer. .
