Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server doesn't * * start when security.xml contains * * incorrect entry. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** WebSphere Application Server doesn't start up when security.xml contains an entry which the security code doesn't recognize. The following is one of examples: <sslConfigGroups xmi:id="SSLConfigGroup_1250772929209" name="fmtc5223WPSNode01" direction="inbound"> <sslConfig href="security.xml#SSLConfig_fmtc5223WPSNode01_1"/> <managementScope href="security.xml#ManagementScope_fmtc5223WPSNode01_1"/> </sslConfigGroups> The cause of the error is that one of methods in loadSSLConfigGroups.class doesn't check whether an object is valid before accessing it.
Problem conclusion
With this fix, null object check is added. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.9. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
