Error description
If the ServerIOTimeout is configured in the httpd.conf file using SetEnvIf and the value differs from the ServerIOTimeout used in the plugin-cfg.xml file, the incorrect timeout may be used with secure connections.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server web * * server plugin users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Requests using secure transports may * * use the incorrect timeout value. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If specialized timeout values are defined for URL groups (see apar PM94198 for configuration information) and secure transports are used, the transport may use the wrong timeout value. This configuration option is available with IHS or Apache webservers only.
Problem conclusion
Although the timeout values were correctly set in the plugin module, plugin did not update the values in the SSL library (gskit) so SSL connections used previously defined timeout values. This only affected sockets which had been previously used for request with a different timeout value defined. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.7.
