SSL-Explorer on Unix - Works fine in Console mode, but not as a service .: SSHTools Knowledgebase

There is a known issue within SSL-Explorer that can cause issues on some Unix installations, we believe it to be a file encoding problem. This issue occurs when SSL-Explorer finds different settings for file encoding between the console and service environments. You need to configure SSL-Explorer to use the same encoding regardless of the start-up environment.

First you need to find out which encoding is being used in the console mode. To do this I clear any logs and start console mode. Open the log and look for file.encoding= this should be very near to the top of the log file amongst the output of all the java system properties. In some of the places weve seen this error it has been set to ISO-8859-1 but when run as a service it was ANSI_X3.4-1968.

You can set this in one of two ways

1. Edit conf/wrapper.conf and uncomment and set the value of wrapper.additional.1 to: -

-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1

This will be set when running through the wrapper (i.e. in service mode)

2. Edit conf/system.properties and add the line (note you do not have to use ?D in this file):-

file.encoding=ISO-8859-1

This will be set for both console mode and service mode.

Hopefully after a system restart the database should be fully functional.
