Error description

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After deleting the application server from
console.. SSL configuration for application server scope is not
cleaned up from security.xml


Recreation Steps as follows


-- Created new application server (testserver)

-- Mapped the alias under inbound/outbound using following step

SSL certificate and key management > Manage endpoint security
configurations exapnd > Node01(NodeDefaultSSLSettings,null)) >
expand servers > click on Override inherited values > update
certififcate alist list with alias you want..

-- save the changes and synced with node

I see the following entries in the security.xml.. which is
expected.

=========================================

managementScopes xmi:id="ManagementScope_1361988314739"
scopeType="server"
scopeName="(cell):Cell01:(node):Node01:(server):testserver"/>


<sslConfigGroups xmi:id="SSLConfigGroup_1361988314770"
name="testserver"
sslConfig="SSLConfig_1"
managementScope="ManagementScope_1361988314739"
direction="inbound" certificateAlias="testalias"/>
<sslConfigGroups
xmi:id="SSLConfigGroup_1361988344511" name="testserver"
sslConfig="SSLConfig_1"
managementScope="ManagementScope_1361988314739"
direction="outbound" certificateAlias="testalias"/>
</security:Security>


===============================================

-- After deleting the application server from console .. I
still see above sslconfig entries from security.xml
