WebSphere SOAP Connection Errors

Problem:

WASX7023E: Error creating "SOAP" connection to host "{hostname}"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorNotAvailableException: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificate not Trusted; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificate not Trusted]

Solution:

Attempt to recreate the problem using wsadmin

./wsadmin.sh -conntype SOAP -host {hostname} -port {8879 or relevant port}  -user {username} -password {password}

Copy the deployment manager Dummy*.jks files from /etc location to app server /etc location.

Try running the above wsadmin command
