APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The caPath property of the RestAdminListener specifying a PEM
    encoded certificate file, or folder containing PEM encoded
    certificate files representing the certificate authorities to
    trust when TLS client authentication is required. Older versions
    of ACE allowed this property to be a symlink, but more recent
    versions incorrectly reject a symlink with an error which
    prevents the RestAdminListener from starting.
    

Local fix

  • Specify the actual path rather than a symlink.
