During startup of that newly-created Application Server, the following exception is issued, and the server does not start successfully. Security is disabled.

Cause
The sslConfig value in server.xml file has a misspelled hostname.
 
Resolving the problem
Server.xml, located under Install_Root /config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/
servers/server_name/ has the following value for sslConfig:

<properties xmi:id="Property_1094144774704" name="sslConfig"value="hrexjs02/DefaultSSLSettings"/>
<transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport"
xmi:id="HTTPTransport_1094144774709" sslEnabled="true"
sslConfig="hrexjs02/DefaultSSLSettings">
<transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport"
xmi:id="HTTPTransport_1094144774711" sslEnabled="true"
sslConfig="hrexjs02/DefaultSSLSettings">

After correcting the hostname from hrexjs02 to hrexejs02, the server starts successfully.

If the problem appears in a federated cell environment, update the server.xml file at the ND level configuratio, then perform a full synchronization, which pushes the updated server.xml out to the node level.
