SSL is offloaded in external component, like loadbalancer or reverse proxy.

This can be re-produced with the following steps:
1. Install the JRE 8 on the EBS client PC using <Note:393931.1> Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.
2. Applied the relevant patches to the instance.

Changes

Upgrade to JRE 8 on the client PC
