APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • It is not possible to override the hardcoded list of trusted
    Certificate Authorities when connecting via HTTPS using either
    the SalesforceRequest node or other loopback request nodes.
    This prevents the use of TCP proxies such as  DataPower from
    being used as network gateways if they use certificates signed
    by an internal CA.
    This problem is caused because the version of node.js shipped
    with IIB fixpack 10.0.0.8 and prior fixpacks does not allow the
    list of
    trusted CAs to be customized.
    

Local fix

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    It is not possible to override the hardcoded list of trusted
    Certificate Authorities when connecting via HTTPS using either
    the SalesforceRequest node or other loopback request nodes.
    
    This prevents the use of TCP proxies such as  DataPower from
    being used as network gateways if they use certificates signed
    by an internal CA.
    
    This problem is caused because the version of node.js shipped
    with IIB fixpack 10.0.0.8 and prior fixpacks does not allow the
    list of trusted CAs to be customized.
    
    There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
    Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

Problem conclusion

  • The level of node.js which is shipped with the product has been
    upgraded to 4.8.0.0. This provides the environment variable
    NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS which can be set to point to a .pem file
    containing trusted certs.
    
    This env var only applies to HTTPS traffic made via node.js, so
    in particular in IIB this applies to the SalesForceRequest Node
    and the Loopback Request Node.
