Cause
Resolution
Enable JSSE SSL, which is under the advanced options of the weblogic console found under the SSL tab
Set “Use JSSE SSL” for Admin server after you import the certificate into the trust keystore on admin server. Otherwise, Admin server may fail to communicate with node manager, and you will see “javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException” error when you check Node Manager Status from weblogic console.
Also modify the file $WL_HOME/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh
to add the following line:
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dweblogic.security.SSL.enableJSSE=true ${JAVA_OPTIONS}"
