Error description
There is an ODC issue with target.xml files where the SSL-offload/onload property is not parsed correctly. A server's target.xml file will show the following: <application name="ProxyRoutingRule:xxxxxxx"> ........ <property name="protocolMap" value="SSL-onload"/> ........ when it should be: <application name="ProxyRoutingRule:xxxxxxx"> ........ <property name="protocolMap" value="SSL-offload"/> ........ since ODC is setting the endpoints of the cluster members to be SSLenabled = true.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V7.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Proxy server mishandles protocol * * mapping, changing requests from HTTP * * to HTTPS and vice-versa. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The On Demand Configuration component incorrectly parses the protocol mapping value, resulting in a conversion from HTTP to HTTPS and vice versa, which in turn results in the Proxy server mishandling requests.

The On Demand Configuration component will be corrected to properly handle the protocol mapping values. APAR PK75946 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.1 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0 for z/OS.
