Re: SSL Error initialization V7R2 (sending email)

Just for the archives, we got this figured out.

At first Art was getting RC(-24) errors which means there is an expired
certificate or CA on the system. This shouldn't throw errors, but it does.

More on that to anyone interested:
https://www.fieldexit.com/forum/display?threadid=182

After deleting what we though were all expired certificates, it started
reporting RC(-23) on initialization. After some fighting, and no help from
IBM (they told us to trust every CA in the system store) we found a rogue
expired CA. Once deleted, things worked fine.

This was a V7R2 system with a recent CUME as well, from what Art's customer
mentioned.

Good idea to post here, Art.

What's odd with this is it's an RC(-23) on SSL_Init() (not handshake...
that is important). 3021 (invalid argument I believe) is also quite odd.

The *SYSTEM store is set up according to Art as well.

I've tested on my V7R3 machine with the same server and I believe Art as
as well on another without issues. This is a very odd error on Init as

it

isn't even listed in the documentation for SSL_Init().

I am getting an error when sending email using SSL. The joblog shows:

Error during SSL initialization. The value specified for the argument

is

not correct. RC(-23) errno(3021).

Brad's BVSTOOLS log is shown:
02/22/2019 9:37:17 Attempting to create socket...

02/22/2019 9:37:17 Socket created successully!

465.... 02/22/2019 9:37:17 Attempting SSL connection...

02/22/2019 9:37:17 Error during SSL initialization.

Brad says there is a problem during SSL init, maybe a PTF is required.
IBM
asked me to run a trace and is surprised that there is no trace data.

Anyone know of any problems in V7R2 or how I can make IBM understand

it's

an SSL Init problem :-)

Thanks
