Cause
This error is due to an unresolved variable in the V5.0.2 $WAS_HOME/config/cell/<cell_name>/security.xml file.

<repertoire xmi:id="SSLConfig_1"
alias="$(node.name)/DefaultSSLSettings">

The node.name variable is left unresolved and does not match the one set in
"cell/<cell_name>/nodes/<node_name>/servers/<server_name>/server.xml":

<transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport"
xmi:id="HTTPTransport_2" sslEnabled="true"
sslConfig="mother_test/DefaultSSLSettings">
 
Resolving the problem
The manual work around for this problem is to edit the
$WAS_HOME/config/cell/<cell_name>/security.xml file, and substitute the actual node name for the node.name variable.
