APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A user defines the eXtreme Scale client properties path in the XS admin console. The properties file specified has transportType defined to a value other than SSL. The defined value of the transportType is not used and instead SSL is always used.
Local fix
If the transportType is TCP/IP do not define a security.props file in the eXtreme Scale client properties path.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere eXreme Scale monitoring console * * users that are using secure * * connections. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The connection status does not * * change, even though the appropriate * * client security credentials were * * specified. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install an interim fix that contains this * * APAR. * **************************************************************** The connection status for the catalog service domain in the monitoring console remains in "Connection Error" state after the connection using client authentication was properly configured. This problem occurs when a client security configuration file is defined on the system hosting the monitoring console. The path to this file is specified in the eXtreme scale client properties path file on the Settings > eXtreme Scale Domains > domain_name panel. The runtime interprets the transportType property that is specified in the client security configuration file as "SSL-Supported" instead of the specified "TCP/IP" value. As a result, repeated attempts to make a connection that fail because SSL properties are not specified. The following exception results: [10/3/11 9:58:44:591 ICT] 3d383d38 ORBRas E com.ibm.ws.orbimpl.transport.WSTransport createServerSocket ConfiguredGridPoller ORBX0390E: Cannot create listener thread.

Problem conclusion
The runtime was corrected to read the transportType specified in the client security configuration properties file. This correction allows the correct transportType value to be used. Attempts to connect to the catalog servers using the SSL transport when SSL properties are not specified are prevented.
