    A liberty profile server or app client with application security
    and remote EJBs enabled will prevent all applications from
    starting until SSL and a UserRegistry are completely configured.
    After 10 seconds an error message will be logged explaining the
    situation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • On a Liberty profile server, all applications will start
    immediately. Remote EJBs will be bound in naming and become
    available for use after the ORB starts. EJB references will fail
    before the ORB starts and start working after it starts.  The
    application client container will wait up to 5 seconds for the
    ORB to start and then start the client application; there is no
    timeout message for this.  After a wait of 10 seconds, if the
    ORB has not started successfully there will be an error message
    indicating what is wrong and needs to be configured.  This
    message currently indicates the applications have not started,
    which is inaccurate.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.7.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
    delivery information:

Temporary fix

  • Configure SSL completely and an appropriate UserRegistry so the
    ORB can start.  This is always required for the ORB to start; if
    you are not using remote ejbs in the server or application
    client or the global jndi context in the application client then
    you do not need the ORB to start.
