Issues with installUpdates with Websphere 8.5 FP11

Hello Experts,

Trying my luck here with this question before i ask IBM about it.

We recently updated to Websphere 8.5 FP11. SSLv3 is disabled by default in that due to security vulnerabilities.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg27049218

We are currently on IIS 11.5 FP1 and are moving to FP2. When i run the installUpdates i get a SSL Handshake error with Websphere because SSLv3 is now disabled and TLS1.2 is being used.

Code: Select all

SEVERE: com.ibm.is.install.atlasinstaller.ui.control.StoreCertificateControl
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake
Caused by: java.io.EOFException: SSL peer shut down incorrectly
Any workarounds that you guys can think of ? I will also seek the help of the guys who manage WebSphere clusters over here at my workplace, will update here if any workaround/solution is found.

Thanks

Well, as a workaround we moved back to SSLv3. Works like charm now
