APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When the IBM MobileFirst Platform Server configuration tools (Ant tasks or Server Configuration Tool or Installation Manager) make a connection to a DB2 or Oracle database, such a connection may fail with error "Algorithm negotiation fail" or "verify: false". The "Algorithm negotiation fail" error may occur when the ssh daemon on the database server is from OpenSSH version 6.7 or newer. The "verify: false" error may occur when an Oracle JRE version 1.7.0_06 or newer is used.
Local fix
For the "Algorithm negotiation fail" error, the workaround is to add specific older, less secure algorithms to the /etc/sshd_config file on the database server machine. For the "verify: false" error, the workaround is to retry the connection attempt.
