The LDAPS advisor will fail to check the availability of the server which disables SSLv2/SSLv3 and only enables the TLSv1 protocol. The LDAPS advisor needs to work with the TLSv1.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Edge Load Balancer users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If using the TLS advisor or the ldaps * * advisor, failures will occur when * * older protocols are disabled. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If you disable SSLv2/SSLv3, the ldaps advisor will fail to work. If you disable TLSv1.0 the TLS advisor will report failures.
Problem conclusion
Modified the advisors so that the ldaps advisor will work with TLSv1.2 thru SSLv2 (attempting stronger algorithms first) and the TLS advisor will work with TLS1.2 thru TLS 1.0. Affects all load balancer users. Fix levels: v7 for IPv4 7.0.0.34 v7 for IPv4 and IPv6 7.0.0.40 v8.0.0.11 (both) v8.5.5.7 (both)
