customer is sure the web tier server is online
AM8 web tier shows as "Pending Connection"
Cause
Resolution
openssl s_client -connect (the name or IP of the AM8 server):7022
You should get a response that looks similar to :
am8pri:/home/rsaadmin # openssl s_client -connect am8p.vcloud.local:7022
CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=1 /CN=RSA root CA for am8pri.vcloud.local/serialNumber=2ebf8701ad9568c2f7815ca3f23f6a13547954d735f80d980b66f9a7d3b6292e
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
verify return:0
23421:error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate:s3_pkt.c:1094:SSL alert number 42
23421:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:188:
Once this is done, test connectivity from the Web Tier to the server. If the Web Tier is on Red Hat Linux, use the built-in openssl utility in the same way it was done on the AM8 appliance.
If the Web Tier server is installed on Win2008, get the open-source openssl utility. A less useful alternative is to install and use the telnet client, but this will only allow you to see if a connection can be made to 'something' on 7022, and not show any ssl information, which can be misleading.
An example of the Web Tier port 7022 being blocked by a firewall or networking issue:
openssl s_client -connect primary.company.com:7022
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
connect: No such file or directory
connect:errno=0
An example of the Primary not listening on the Web Tier port, or a misconfigured firewall accepting the conenction but not processing it correctly:
openssl s_client -connect primary.company.com:7022
connect: Connection refused
connect:errno=111
Other examples of different numbers for connect:errno=x are available on the internet
