RQM Copy Utility Chokes on TLS 1.2


Andy Lapping (6839) | asked Feb 20 '20, 9:10 p.m.

 Trying to use the RQM copy utility to copy items from one server to another. The source server uses TLS1.2 - the copy utility chokes on that:


 02:02:16,543+0000 [main]  INFO com.ibm.rqm.ct.CopyUtil: Attempting to create SSL_TLS context
21 Feb 2020 02:02:16,637+0000 [main] ERROR com.ibm.rqm.ct.CopyUtil: SSL_TLS SSLContext not available
21 Feb 2020 02:02:16,637+0000 [main]  INFO com.ibm.rqm.ct.CopyUtil: Unable to create SSL_TLS context, trying SSLv3
21 Feb 2020 02:02:18,355+0000 [main] ERROR com.ibm.rqm.ct.CopyUtil: Error logging in to source: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version
at sun.

Is there any way to force it to use TLS 1.2 ?

Thanks to Brian Lahaie for this one - a command line switch worked - well at least it got past the TLS error anyways:


java -Dcom.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.protocol="TLSv1.2" -jar RQMCopyUtility.jar -s=xxxxxxxxx
