Procedure
To set the security preferences in the
user workspace:
- Open the following files with a text editor:
- <application_server_workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.help.base.prefs
- <application_server_workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.ibm.ut.help.common.prefs
Apache Tomcat example: <tomcat_installation_directory>\work\Catalina\server\help\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.ibm.ut.help.common.prefs
- Specify both preferences in each .prefs file. You can list more than one SSL type by separating them with
commas. When more than one type is specified, each one is tested until
the correct type is found. Specify the same values for both preferences.
Example:
com.ibm.ut.help.common.sslcontexts=TLS,TLSv1
org.eclipse.help.base.sslcontexts=TLS,TLSv1
- Save the changes to both .prefs files.
