the efix, the customer does not hang when configuring SSL for
LDAP.  There were no error messages in the trace files.

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server who have        *
*                 enabled security and configured LDAP over    *
*                 SSL.                                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Failure to configure SSL between        *
*                      WebSphere and LDAP.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere fails to reload the SSL configuration from the
repository during security configuration.  This prevents
the Security Center GUI from accessing LDAP to validate a
user during LDAP configuraion which ultimately causes the
new configuration to fail on update.
Problem conclusion
The SSL Configuration is now reloaded from the repository if
configuration is changed.
Temporary fix
provided testing and tracing module to customer.
