Problem conclusion
When SSL is not enabled, CSIv2 code uses NullTransportConfig. But the code still tried to cast to SSLTransportConfig. Instance check has been added prior to casting the object to SSLTransportConfig and makes it go down the non-SSL path. The code was fixed by issue 961 in Open Liberty. https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/961 The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 17.0.0.4.
