PQ77058 - Plugin failed to start with lots of HTTPS transports configured

[napadex]

Hi:

I've a Websphere application server 5.0 with IIS when I start IIS with two HTTPS transports configured it fails. I'v used the "WebSphere Plug-in Cumulative Fix for 5.0.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2" but the problem continues. ¿Any idea?

You'll have to be far more specific than "it fails" for us to help.

Looks pretty specific to me. What's on line 24?

The problem is determined: "PQ77058 - Plugin failed to start with lots of HTTPS transports configured".
I know what is happens, I've installed the fix-pack to solve this problem but it's doesn`t work fine.

Then you should open a problem report with IBM.

This turns out to be a very simple problem, although I haven't seen much
on the web about its resolution (only a whiff of a solution on IBM.COM)
- hence this rant.

I had problems with the plugin and IIS, but lots of people had it
working, so it couldn't be broken right?

Here's the skinny:

I had installed the plug in, but forgot that I'd upgraded from 4.0.1 to
4.0.6 - so I went back and installed the upgrade (but just the plugin -
after all I dodn't need a whole websphere install on my front of house
web server!). Although I had to select "Websphere Application Server" as
the upgrade, and did need a copy of Java on there, it went pretty well.
It figured out I only had the plugin installed. The later dlls have a
2003 date, rather than the 2001 I had from 4.0.1.

Then I copied over my plugins-conf.xml, and sure enough, everytime I
started IIS, the dll refused to load with 7e 00 00 00 in the event log.
I took out the https transport and it worked first time. Then I put on
the "TRACE" mode and put https back in. It gives an error (if you look
hard enough)

lib_security: initializeSecurity: Initializing... lib_security:
loadSecurityLibrary: In load security library ERROR: lib_security:
loadSecurityLibrary: Failed to load gsk library ERROR: lib_security:
initializeSecurity: Unable to load security library ERROR: ws_transport:
transportInitializeSecurity: Failed to initialize security

a quick check and IBM say something like 'your gsk*dll can't found
in win32'.

I ended up copying from the installed gsk5kit all of the dll's into
winnt\system32 and hey presto it worked just fine. http: & https: from
IIS into Websphere - using a plugin generated from another box, just
like its supposed to.

I would strongly recomend only using "TRACE" mode very briefly. Also be
sure to really stop IIS when monkeying with the dlls (the plugin dll's
that is) - you need to do this via the services panel or with "net stop
whatever".

Worked for me.
