Symptoms

On : 11.1.1.7.171017 version, Administration

The ability to use dsconf with the "--accept-cert" functionality in ODSEE 11.1.1.7.171017 was lost after JAVA upgrade

Example command output:

$SERVER_ROOT/bin/dsconf list-suffixes -E --accept-cert -h localhost -P 30099 -D "$BACKUP_ACCT" -w tmp-file.txt

The following error is encountered:

Unable to bind securely on "localhost:30009".
Make sure an LDAPS server is listening on "localhost:30009".
The "list-suffixes" operation failed on "localhost:30009".


When checking the logs the following message is observed:

conn=35 op=-1 msgId=-1 - fd=30 slot=30 LDAPS connection from <localhost>:58432 to <localhost>
conn=35 op=0 msgId=-1 - closing from <localhost>:58432 - B4 - Server failed to flush BER data back to client -
conn=35 op=-1 msgId=-1 - closed.



When reverting back to 7u181 then everything worked as expected, it could handle "--accept-cert" correctly.
