Issue/Introduction

When I port my working Java Agent code from R12 to R12.52, it generate the following error on R12.52 policy server side:

[65180/4086831984][Mon Jun 04 2018 13:30:52][CServer.cpp:2016][ERROR][sm-Tunnel-00010] Bad security handshake attempt. Handshake error: 3152 [65180/4086831984][Mon Jun 04 2018 13:30:52][CServer.cpp:2023][ERROR][sm-Tunnel-00030] Handshake error: Failed to receive client hello. Socket error 104

<<<=================================
 

Cause

 The "<sdk_install_dir>/bin/smreghost" created SmHost.conf with contents for JNI based agent.

Environment

Policy Server version: 12.52.105.2112 on
RH Linux: Linux dvlva177 2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 28 20:15:47 EST 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
SDK version: 12.52.107.2259

Resolution

Need to run:
"<sdk_install_dir]/bin/smreghost.sh>" for Pure Java agent to communicate with  the policy server over TLI protocol..
