When caliing a REST service using SSL, "Invoke REST API" activity fails with following exception: caused by: com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException: javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: handshake alert: unrecognized_name

TIBCO AciveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.13 + TIBCO AciveMatrix BusinessWorks plugin for REST and JSON v2.0.0

Beginning with JDK 7, the server name indication will be included in the TLS client messages. The server can ignore the server name indication or checking for accuracy of the server name indication. If a server wants to check the server name indication, it may be denied a connection when the server name indication is unexpected and fails with an unrecognized_name alert. This is not a bug of JDK. It is the purpose of the server that needs to deny the server name indication request or a miss-configuration in the server side. For detailed information, refer to http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7127374

If it is not possible to update the server side, a possible workaround is to disable the server name indication on the client side (Invoke REST API) , There are two possible solutions:

1). Add the following property to the designer.tra file.

"java.property.jsse.enableSNIExtension=false"

OR

2). Change your JDK version from 1.7 to 1.6 , Point your BW to use JDK 1.6 instead of JDK 1.7.
