“Error connecting to the data store” message displayed editing Access Gateway configuration page

Access Manager 3.1 Support Pack 4 setup and working fine. After migrating all components (Admin Console, Identity Server and Linux Access Gateways) to Access Manager 3.2, the system continued to work fine ie. all Access Gateway protected resources were accessible after the user authentication at the Identity Server. However, it was noted that as the admin clicked through the Access Gateway configuration, the following message would randonly be reported at the browser:

“Error connecting to the data store”

Modify the /opt/novell/nam/adminconsole/conf/tomcat7.conf file on the Admin Console server to include the following JAVA option

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false"

The snippet of the bottom of this file with this workaround looks like:

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dsun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders=true"
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dsun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation=true"
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false"
#JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djava.endorsed.dirs=${CATALINA_BASE}/endorsed"
JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS=${CATALINA_BASE}/endorsed

There is an issue with the jsse module from the latest JDK that seems to have triggered this performance issue.To
We can also workaround the issue by replacing the jsse.jar from the latest JDK with the one from the previous
JDK 1.6.0_26 64 bit JDK ie. copy the jdk1.6.0_26/jre/lib/jsse.jar to jdk1.6.0_30/jre/lib.
