PQ51900: NON-80 PORT FOR IPLANET WS IN PLUGIN-CFG.XML DOES NOT WORK

 A fix is available

PQ52815, 4.0.1: iPlanet/Domino Plugin with SSL on Solaris Doesn't Work



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
in the virtual host match it fails because it appends the
port number twice to the IP ..for example it tries to match
lssva00x.vanguard.com:40021
to lssva00x.vanguard.com:40021:40021 (and obviously
fails..)
There is no such behavior with port 80, whether or not it
is explicitly entered in to the URL.
Local fix
NO local fix.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users of    *
*                 iPlanet                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The plugin code needs to remove the     *
*                      :port from the host header.             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When iPlanet runs on a port other than 80, the host header
extracted from NSAPI is of the form hostname:port.  The
plugin code needs to get rid of the :port before forwarding
the request over the the app server in order for the virtual
host matching to work correctly.
Problem conclusion
Code has been corrected in:
ncf/src/native/http_plugins/ns_plugin/ns_plugin.c
