Environment

IDM 4.02 connecting two eDirectory instances together using the eDirectory to eDirectory driver.

Situation

One instance of IDM 4.02 has Engine patch 7 applied.
The eDirectory driver starts successfully but the SSL handshake to remote IDM 4.02 instance fails with the error

Message: java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failed, SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

Resolution

The remote instance of IDM 4.02 also needs IDM 4.02 patch 7 applied to be compatible with SSL security fixes introduced with this IDM patch.
Once both instances of IDM 4.02 are patched, the SSL handshake will be successful.
