Workaround

BEA WebLogic Server uses its own JSSE implementation to handle SSL communication. However, the implementation does not work properly if you use IBM's JSSE implementation as the Java extension.

Make sure that you remove ibmjsse.jar from the jre/lib/ext directory of the SDK installation directory from which WebLogic Server is run.
