Troubleshooting
Problem
While configuring and starting DOORS Web Access for compliance with NIST SP 800-131A,
the catalina.out log file contains the exception.
org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$SocketProcessor.doRun Error running socket processor
java.lang.NullPointerException

Symptom
Users cannot access DOORS Web Access by using secure protocol (9443 *)
Cause
The IBMJCEFIPS provider is no longer being recertified; it is intended that the IBMJCEPlusFIPS provider will eventually supersede the IBMJCEFIPS provide.
Resolving The Problem
If you are using the IBMJCEFIPS provider for TLS, add
RSASSA-PSS, RSAPSS to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms system property in the java.security file.Related Information
