Description

Description:
When using SSL to connect to EMS with the primary server down, it appears that BW is trying to verify the remote Host Name even though the checkbox is cleared for the option VerifyRemoteHostName and there is no text there. 

[Error: Failed to connect via SSL to [ssl://<HOSTNAME>:7225]: java.security.cert.CertificateException: com.tibco.security.AXSecurityException: Common name in the certificate [<HOSTNAME>] does not match expected host name [<HOSTNAME>]: url that returned this exception = SSL://<HOSTNAME>:7225 ]

Issue/Introduction

BW6.x issue with "Verify Remote Host Name" issue with EMS SSL.

Resolution

Check that  factories.conf and tibemsd.conf files have "ssl_verify_hostname" disabled:
ssl_verify_hostname=disabled


Restart the EMS server for the changes to take effect.
