Environment:
Introscope 10.x
Cause:
This is a client connection issue where the client side of the SSL connection brought down the connection before the SSL handshake completed. This can happen if the browser sends a request but closes before the server can reply back. The error can be specifically caused if you have not updated the default certificate used by Webview (as the connection is not trusted on the client side).
Workaround:
Use one of the following options:
1. Adding a certificate trusted on the client side should resolve the issue.
2. Change logging from
log4j.logger.org.mortbay=ERROR, console, logfile
to
log4j.logger.org.mortbay=INFO, console, logfile
Additional Information:
There should be no functional impact caused by the warnings, so you can safely ignore them.
