Resolution
This issue is resolved in the following versions by disabling TLSv1.3 in AFX Connectors.
  • RSA Governance & Lifecycle 8.0.0 P02
Workaround

In the following version 

  • Securid Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.2


Edit the /home/oracle/AFX/esb/conf/wrapper.conf

At line 31 in wrapper.conf insert the following line.

wrapper.java.additional.11=-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2

Restart AFX for the changes to take effect.

This modification must be done if you patch 7.5.2 or redeploy a new AFX instance on 7.5.2
