Error description
When using WebSphere w502000 a problem can occur if you have
Global Security "enabled" for the domain and "disabled" for the
Application Server.  The Application Server will ABNORMALLY end
with a BBOO0006E message and a REASON=C9C2123:
..
BBOO0006E WEBSPHERE FOR Z/OS PROCESS BBOS001 ENDED ABNORMALLY
..
You will also receive and BBOO0021E meassge:
..
The problem appears to be a byproduct of our "disabling" the
HTTP SSL port, when application server security is off.
..
-  bbocsmgr.cpp thinks that HTTP SSL should be started but
-  bbocsmhs.cpp thinks that it should not.
..
The following is an example of the error message in the joblog
for Application Server (as in BBOS001):
..

or you might see the following in the Application Server joblog:

In the servant joblog (BBOS001S), you will see the servant stop
responding.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When server level security is disabled  *
*                      and an SSL port is defined for the HTTP *
*                      Transport, https requests will not be   *
*                      accepted on the configured SSL port.    *

*                      receive a 404 response.                 *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In application servers that are configured with an SSL port to
accept https requests and with server level security disabled,
SSL initialization is not performed for the configured port.
In the control region initialization code, a check for server
level security incorrectly abandoned SSL initialization even
though an SSL port had been defined in the HTTP Transport.
Problem conclusion
The code that incorrectly abandoned SSL initialization is
removed.
