Hello everybody!

I'm trying to test the TLS encryption between a Java test client (a driver) and an Orbix server.
The Java test client runs from Linux using JDK 1.8 and the iiop_tls Orbix library from Orbix 6.3.9.
I've used a minimal configuration file. Here is the iiop_tls config:

(...)
plugins:iiop_tls:ClassName = "com.iona.corba.iiop.tls.IIOPTLSPlugIn";
plugins:iiop_tls:shlib_name = "it_iiop_tls";
policies:iiop_tls:mechanism_policy:protocol_version = "TLS_V1_2";
policies:iiop_tls:mechanism_policy:ciphersuites = [...];
policies:iiop_tls:certificate_constraints_policy = [...];
policies:iiop_tls:client_secure_invocation_policy:requires = ["Confidentiality", "EstablishTrustInTarget"];
policies:iiop_tls:client_secure_invocation_policy:supports = ["Confidentiality", "EstablishTrustInTarget", "DetectMisordering", "DetectReplay", "Integrity"];
policies:iiop_tls:max_chain_length_policy = "3";

binding:server_binding_list =  ["GIOP IIOP_TLS"];
binding:client_binding_list =  ["GIOP IIOP_TLS"];
orb_plugins = ["iiop_tls", ...];
(...)

I'm also using atli2_tls, tls, x509 and corba_security plugins, as it was required.
I'm getting the following exception during an lookup operation:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: TLS_V1_1

The Logger also informs me that "Limited strength policy files are installed in this JVM (...)".

I suppose it might be a compatibility issue between libraries or a bug, as I've specified clearly in the config that the
TLS V1.2 should be used, and the JSSEMethodsImpl try to access the not existing / private field TLS_V1_1,
which is not available / should not be available.

Did someone have a similar problem?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
