PQ83407: ERROR WHEN CHANGING HTTP TRANSPORT SETTINGS VIA THE WEBSPHERE ADMINISTRATIVE CONSOLE

 A fix is available

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer has one HTTP Transport defined for his application
server.  He selects Application Servers ---> servername --->
Web Container ---> HTTP Transports to display his list of HTTP
Transports for that server.  He then selects the only HTTP
Transport in the list to display it's settings.  When the
settings are displayed the 'Enable SSL' box is not selected.  If
he now clicks on the 'Apply' button, he received the following
error message:
Enable/disable SSL action invalid: the two HTTP transports
cannot both be defined as SSL enabled or SSL disabled.
                                                               .
After the error displays, the 'SSL Enabled' box is also selected
(by the GUI).  There are two issues here.  First, the message
states that there are two HTTP Transports when there is only
one.  Secondly, the customer does not feel that the GUI should
force SSL to be enabled.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In the Administrative Console, if only  *
*                      one HTTP Transport is defined, clicking *
*                      Apply or OK for it results in an error  *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In the Administrative Console, on the HTTP Transport collection
page (Servers > Application Servers > servername > Web Container
> HTTP Transports), if only one transport is defined, selecting
that one then clicking either Apply or OK from the detail page
results in the following message being incorrectly issued:

Enable/disable SSL action invalid: the two HTTP transports
cannot both be defined as SSL enabled or SSL disabled.
Problem conclusion
Only one SSL enabled transport and one non-SSL enabled transport
are permitted.  The logic to check this was incorrectly
determining that two of the same type were present if only one
transport is defined.  The logic was corrected.

APAR PQ83407 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502002 of
