APAR status

• The WASPostUpgrade command hangs waiting for user to input a
  response. However, there is no indication that the user must
  enter a response - the migration code does not expose the prompt
  to the command line.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V7.0 WASPostUpgrade who utilize      *
  *                  signer certificates and have                *
  *                  ssl.enableSignerExchangePrompt=true set in  *
  *                  USER_INSTALL_ROOT/properties/ssl.client.prop*
  *                  s.                                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WASPostUpgrade hangs when waiting   *
  *                      for input due to the setting            *
  *                      ssl.enableSignerExchangePrompt=true.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The setting ssl.enableSignerExchangePrompt=true causes a
  prompt to be displayed that cannot be seen when running the
  WASPostUpgrade command.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected to automatically exchange signer
  certificates and not display a prompt.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
