Error description

  • Customer has dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration to
    access a specific SSL endpoint accessed by their applications.
    Endpoint was accessed via a proxy, using JVM propertes
    https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort.
    When endpoint is accessed in the application using
    HttpsUrlConnection the correct SSL config is applied.
    When endpoint is accessed via JAX-RPC the default cell SSL
    settings are applied.
    
    This is a similar problem to PI31777 which is for JAX-WS.  This
    APAR is for JAX-RPC

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Application Server's webservices engine is organizing the
    connection information which will be used to match up the
    dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration from JSSE. For
    proxy case, the proxy host and port information are used
    in this connection information, which caused the match up to
    fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Application Server is modified to update the connection
    information for proxy case. The endpoint host and port
    information will be updated into the connection information.
    
    By default, this fix behavior is disabled.
    It can be enabled by setting following jvm custom property to
    true.
    com.ibm.ws.webservices.dynamic.ssl.proxy
