Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All users of IBM integration Bus V9.0 and V10.0, and IBM App
    Connect Enterprise v11 using SSL outbound connections.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    z/OS, MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Server Name indication of SSL is enabled by default in IBM
    Integration Bus. The user does not have an option to disable
    SNI.
    

Problem conclusion

  • An optional property is implemented in IBM Integration Bus to
    switch off Server Name Indication.  For example :
    
    1. Disable Server Name Indication for Integration Node's
    outbound SSL connection(for eg: SSL to LDAP server configured
    for WebAdmin Security)
    
    mqsichangeproperties IBNODE -o ComIbmJVMManager -n allowSNI -v
     false
    
    
    2.  Disable Server Name Indication for Integration Server's
    outbound SSL connection ( for eg: SOAPRequest or HTTPRequest
    having https:// url)
    
    mqsichangeproperties IBNODE -e integrationServerName -o
    ComIbmJVMManager -n enableCRLDP -v true
    
    
    3. Disable Server Name Indication for all Integration Servers of
    an Integration Node.
    
    mqsichangeproperties IBNODE -o BrokerRegistry -n crlFileList -v
    file_path
