You would not need to specify the repositories in order for Installation Manager (IM) to find the update. You just need to update IM to at least 1.8 level. It sounds like IM detected it had a newer version available but then it crashed (which is not related to the SSL changes). You might try doing the download of IM 1.8.2.1 manually and updating it. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24039708 has details. Once it is updated, you will be able to use 'Update' to get RDi 9.1.1.1. Alternatively, you can stay at the current IM level but use the zip download of RDi 9.1.1.1. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24039445 has details.

To update IM, I disable the firewall stuff, then open IM as administrator, and set the preferences to ensure that "Search for Installation Manager updates" is checked. In the Repositories list, I have https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90 >From the archives I see that https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v91 is also used by some, but when I try to add that, I get a "failed to connect" message. I add it anyway, but also note that when I try to access either of those sites from a browser, I get "Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found." And, sure enough, when I click IM's Update button, and I get a messagebox indicating neither of those repositories are "connected". I click OK, get the messagebox saying a new version of IM is available... Do I want it? I click the "Yes, Dammit" button and it crashes (I knew that). More research turns up a Technote< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21695613> that acknowledges this problem. Says the SSL problems are to blame for such failures and that TLS protocols aren't supported by IM 7.1.3. It then goes on to say if I update to IM 8.1... [I'll be able to update IM to 8.1] Infinite looping is familiar territory to us all, but... There must be an off-ramp somewhere. Can someone point me to it? Thanks.
