There is really not enough information to go on here,  Are you trying to start the server via the Tomcat services, of using the the server.startup script.

Doing a quick search on the net I found the following technote that can help explain the situation.

Tomcat as a Windows Service fails with SSLContext error when using Rational Team Concert
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21460726

Hope this helps

Yes, I'm using the server.startup script.
Yeah, I read that page too. But it's on windows for RTC not RQM.
And I can see SSL is defined on server.xml under tomcat/conf
    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 9443
         This connector uses the JSSE configuration, when using APR, the
         connector should be using the OpenSSL style configuration
         described in the APR documentation -->
    <!--
    <Connector port="9443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
               maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
    -->
    <Connector SSLEnabled="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" algorithm="${jazz.connector.algorithm}" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keystoreFile="ibm-team-ssl.keystore" keystorePass="ibm-team" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="9443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="${jazz.connector.sslProtocol}"/>

 I not sure what is happening on you system, but I can reproduce the same message on my system if I comment out the following java option JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.sslProtocol=SSL_TLS".  BY default the server.startup should be setting up the SSL_TLS option like the technote in the last comment explains.


What you need to investigate, is you server startup process:

Why are you missing this option?  
Are you using the right server.startup?  
  Some organization transform the Tomcat home to fit their needs, are there requirements in you environment that changes the startup sequence?
Is it possible that you are using a initd (Unix services to startup the server and some of the required Java option are missing?

I would recommend to open a PMR if you need further investigation.

 This is the Linux Platform I tested on


Linux someserver.ibm.com 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 3 13:32:45 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And the next two section are the update I did in the server.startup, and the output form the tomcat JVM after startup.

<EXTRACT server.startup

# For Mac OS X (unsupported, but used by developers)
if [ uname = Darwin ];
  then
   ... (removed due to limit of numb or char aloud)
  else
    JRE_HOME=pwd/jre
#    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.sslProtocol=SSL_TLS"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.algorithm=IbmX509"
fi

Hi I checked server.startup the line of SSL_TLS is not commented out.
See below:
# For Mac OS X (unsupported, but used by developers)
if [ `uname` = Darwin ];
  then
    JRE_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.sslProtocol=TLS"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.algorithm=SunX509"
  else
    JRE_HOME=`pwd`/jre
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.sslProtocol=SSL_TLS"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djazz.connector.algorithm=IbmX509"

on the cannot startup same day, I just knew that the openssl has been just updated.
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
so when the openssl updated? whether the ibm-team-ssl.keystore
<Connector SSLEnabled="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" algorithm="IbmX509" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keystoreFile="ibm-team-ssl.keystore" keystorePass="ibm-team" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="9443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="${jazz.connector.sslProtocol}"/>

Can you please clarify "so when the openssl updated? whether the ibm-team-ssl.keystore" 


Are you asking if the ibm-team-ssl.keystore is the concern? and does it require an update because of the change to your openssl libraries?

sorry for loss pasting content.
I remember the openssl is updated due to "Heart Bleed".
Yes, I'm asking whether the keystore is the concern?whether the keystore file needs to be updated or not.
