| Summary | This article provides background information on the usage of the plugins:atli2_tls:use_jsse_tk Orbix configuration variable. |
|---|---|
| Article Number | 28237 |
| Environment | Orbix 6.3.5 All Supported Operating Systems |
| Question/Problem Description | What is the Orbix 6.3 configuration variable plugins:atli2_tls:use_jsse_tk used for? What is the impact of changing the Orbix 6.3 configuration variable plugins:atli2_tls:use_jsse_tk? |
| Clarifying Information | In Orbix 6.3.5, the OpenSSL toolkit is the default TLS toolkit for C applications and the JDK JCA/JSSE toolkit is the default TLS toolkit for Java applications. Since Orbix 6.3.5, when you deploy a new domain, Orbix explicitly sets the plugins:atli2_tls:use_jsse_tk variable to "true". |
| Error Message | |
| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | |
| Resolution |
This configuration variable specifies whether or not to use the JSSE/JCE architecture with Orbix Java applications. (Please select the product family "CORBA Middleware" and product "Orbix 6") |
| Workaround | If the Baltimore toolkit needs to be used by default in new Orbix 6.3.5 deployments this can be achieved by patching the <IT_PRODUCT_DIR>\\asp\\6.3\\etc\\conf\\core.xml file to change the use_jsse_tk to false. This would reenable Baltimore, just like in Orbix 6.3.4 and prior releases, and would not require to modify generated deployment descriptors. |
| Notes | The Baltimore toolkit for Orbix C and Java is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. |
