Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cannot open keystore URL: * * com.ibm.websphere.ssl.SSLException: * * KeyStore "" does not exist * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When empty string is set to keystore/truststore system properties (such as javax.net.ssl.keyStore or javax.net.ssl.trustStore), WebSphere Application Server should ignore the value as the keystore location is not valid. However, it tries to open the keystore/truststore and fails.
Problem conclusion
The code is updated to use the Application Servers keystore and truststore when empty string is specified for system keystore properties. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.27, 8.0.0.6, 8.5.0.2.
