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.
