2-Way SSL issue on v11.1

I have box that I upgraded from v10.2.0 HF 2 to v11.1 HF 2, and now all the applications that have server side 2 way ssl are not working. I have a case open with support to look into this, but I thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions. I have turned off re-negotiation so that should not be the issue. It appears that when I look at the ssldump that after the ServerHelloDone I see the ASM send a RST. I have 4 applications that connect to different web servers on the back end that perform 2 way ssl (client cert auth) and none of them are working so something is wrong with the configuration. Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Hi Mike,

     

    I have come across a similar sort of issue and what i have found up to now is that the uploaded ssl.crt and ssl.key are missing from the folder where they should be listed why this is happening I have no idea but i believe this is the main reason this problem is happening let the support help you in this I am also waiting for them to revert back to me and help me out.

     

     

    Regards,

    mine is 11.1.0. i do not configure trusted certificate authorities in serverssl profile since i think it might not be relevant.
