RQMUrlUtility working with TLS 1.2?


Robert Huet (23113984) | asked Oct 24 '17, 12:48 p.m.

 I get an SSLHandshakeException when trying to use the RQMUrlUtility against our CLM 6.0.2 environment that requires TLS 1.2.  I've tried both Java 7 and Java 8 and get the same error.  Works fine on environments where TLS 1.2 is not required.


Attempting to create SSL_TLS context
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SSL_TLS SSLContext not available
Unable to create SSL_TLS context, trying SSLv3
RQMUrlUtility: Cannot authenticate to server javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException
: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

Hello Robert,

The  RQMUrlUtility will work when connecting to an environment that is configured to use TLS 1.2. You would need to add the following to your command:

-Dcom.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.protocol="TLSv1.2"

So the command would look similar to below:

java -Dcom.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.protocol="TLSv1.2" -jar RQMUrlUtility.jar -command GET -user CLM -password <password> -filepath C:\\tmp\\tc.xml -url
