Error description
A slow memory leak could occur on z/OS systems when the IBM HTTP Server is configured to request client certificates. This is neither the default nor a typical IBM HTTP Server configuration.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users running IBM HTTP Server on z/OS * * systems where it has been configured to * * request client certificates (via the * * 'SSLClientAuth' directive with a value * * of any of 'optional|required|1|2' ) * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A slow memory leak can occur on z/OS * * systems running IBM HTTP Server that is * * configured to request client SSL * * certificates. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This problem occured due to differences between z/OS and the distributed platforms in the behavior of the API used to request client certificate details for a given connection.
Problem conclusion
Explicit API calls were added to free the certificate details for z/OS systems only. The free occurs implicitly on distributed platforms at the end of the connection. APAR PK90273 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.5 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
