Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
After upgrading to IBM Rational DOORS Web Access version 1.4.0.4, you get an error message: SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length - (ssl_error_rx_record_too_long).
Symptom
You will discover that the security connection under HTTPS is no longer working.
A connection under http (non-secure) is possible.
SSL was working on a previous version of Rational DOORS Web Access.
Cause
The problem is because the embedded Apache Tomcat Server changed from version 5 to version 6 in Rational DOORS Web Access version 1.4.0.4.
In Apache Tomcat Server version 5 the SSL feature is automatically enabled. In version 6 it is not.
Resolving the problem
See http://tomcat.apache.org/ documentation "Migrating from 5.5.x to 6.0.x" for SSLEnabled attribute on Connector.
The SSLEnabled flag has to be set to true in the server.XML file.
The file is located in DWAHOME/1.4.0.4/server/conf/
