Description: When BC sends an outbound request to a trading partner via the HTTPS transport, the following error occurs: "StatusCode from Transport is: 699. StatusMsg from Transport is: Error connecting to host b2b.tp_host_name.com at port 9999. java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints."
Symptoms: As described.
Cause: The "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2" statement in java.security file of JRE 1.7.0 causes this error. JRE 1.7 tightened up the use of less secure algorithms that can be used in the SSL handshake. Some older servers with older certificates may not support some of the newer security algorithms.
