PK72163: ODC mishandles parsing of SSL-OFFLOAD/ONLOAD property

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

There is an ODC issue with target.xml files where the
SSL-offload/onload property is not parsed correctly.

A server's target.xml file will show the following:

<application name="ProxyRoutingRule:xxxxxxx">
      ........
      <property name="protocolMap" value="SSL-onload"/>
      ........

when it should be:
<application name="ProxyRoutingRule:xxxxxxx">
      ........
      <property name="protocolMap" value="SSL-offload"/>
      ........

since ODC is setting the endpoints of the cluster members to be
SSLenabled = true.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  V6.1.0 for z/OS                             *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Proxy server mishandles protocol    *
*                      mapping, changing requests from HTTP    *
*                      to HTTPS and vice-versa.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The On Demand Configuration component incorrectly parses the
protocol mapping value, resulting in a conversion from HTTP to
HTTPS and vice versa, which in turn results in the Proxy
server mishandling requests.

Problem conclusion

The On Demand Configuration component will be corrected to
properly handle the protocol mapping values.

APAR PK72163 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.23 of WebSphere
Application Server V6.1 for z/OS.
