Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Calling external web services with SSL fails
Calling external web services with SSL encryption from Service Manager fails. The sm.log file contains an exception like this:
JRTE E java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Message send failed RTE E Error calling method: doSoapRequest in class: com/hp/ov/sm/server/utility/SoapClient Exception (com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Message send failed) RTE E SCException caught in soapRequest(): Error calling method: doSoapRequest in class: com/hp/ov/sm/server/utility/SoapClient Exception (com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Message send failed) RAD E Error calling method: doSoapRequest in class: com/hp/ov/sm/server/utility/SoapClient Exception (com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Message send failed)
Additionally, a sm_<process identifier>_stdouterr.log was created. The relevant stack trace is:
Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: unexpected_message at com.ibm.jsse2.j.a(j.java:21) at com.ibm.jsse2.j.a(j.java:32) at com.ibm.jsse2.qc.b(qc.java:5) at com.ibm.jsse2.qc.a(qc.java:645) at com.ibm.jsse2.qc.h(qc.java:809) at com.ibm.jsse2.qc.a(qc.java:106) at com.ibm.jsse2.qc.startHandshake(qc.java:586) at com.ibm.net.ssl.www2.protocol.https.c.afterConnect(c.java:15) at com.ibm.net.ssl.www2.protocol.https.d.connect(d.java:39) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getOutputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1090 <http://www.protocol.http.httpurlconnection.getoutputstream(httpurlconnection.java:1090/> ) at com.ibm.net.ssl.www2.protocol.https.b.getOutputStream(b.java:33) at com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnection.post(HttpSOAPConnection.java:323)
Cause:
The remote endpoint is not supporting Server Name Indication (SNI), which is activated by default as of JRE 1.7. The issue is related to the remote endpoint (in this case, the web services server), and whether it supports SNI extensions during the SSL handshake or not. When Service Manager uses JRE 1.8, it starts to use SNI extensions during the SSL handshake. If the remote endpoint does not, the web service will fail with the error message provided above.
Solution:
Activate SNI at the remote endpoint. This is the recommended solution.
Workaround:
If the remote endpoint does not support SNI extensions, and SNI cannot be activated, add the following JVMOption<n> parameter either to the sm.ini
file, or to the start command of the servlet(s) in the sm.cfg
file:
JVMOption2:-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
This will disable the SNI security feature in Java.
