Cannot access HTTPS from Weblogic

Question

I have a problem with Weblogic accessing an HTTPS server, I can access other HTTPS urls, like google or microsoft. The code that tries to connect to the url is:

<         


        

Answer 1

For me using -DUseSunHttpHandler=true works but I can't have this parameter, because then I have problems with restarting Managed Server on redeploy.

This helped me:

url = new URL(null,"https://yoururl.com",new sun.net.www.protocol.https.Handler());

Answer 2

Eventually it worked by setting these in the Weblogic arguments:

-DUseSunHttpHandler=true 
-Dssl.SocketFactory.provider=sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl 
-Dssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl
